Background
History
When the church was undergoing restoration in 1888 remains of a Saxon church were found. The earliest written evidence of a church on the site is in 1206 when Patrick de Mobberley founded an Augustinian priory. This was short-lived as by 1240 it had been annexed to the priory of Rochester in Staffordshire. The oldest part of the present building dates from about 1245. At that time it consisted of a continuous nave and chancel under one roof, with narrow side aisles, and a detached tower. In 1450 a clerestory and new roof were added, and the aisles were widened. The tower was replaced in 1533 when the old one had become ruined. In 1888 the chancel was largely rebuilt by J. S. Crowther and a…
Architecture
The low-pitched nave ceiling has cambered tie beams carried on short corbelled posts at the foot of which are figures of angels. In the chancel are a carved ascending double sedilia and a piscina. Over the nave arcades are faded wall paintings where the figure of St Christopher can be recognised, The parish registers begin in 1578.
