One of five churches in the Parish of Greater Whitborne in the Diocese of Hereford.
From their website:-
This is the largest of the four parishes, and the church is likewise the largest. It still retains traces of Norman and possibly even Saxon work, in spite of major refurbishment in 1865, when the North aisle and vestry (behind the organ) were added and the gallery and stairs to the Rood loft taken away,

Worthy of note are the ancient font, the relatively new screen, moved recently from the chancel to the tower arch, the centuries -old piece of material (cope, then altar frontal?) found in the Rectory attics and now hanging on the north wall, the St. Francis window.
