From the (visit link) website:
Rock, near Kidderminster, is a fine church of Norman origin which holds some of the best remaining examples of the Herefordshire school of carving. It was built around 1150 by Roger de Tosny, the grandson of Ralph of Normandy who was standard-bearer to William the Conqueror at Hastings.

The nave and chancel are Norman but the south aisle and tower date from 1510. Restorations were carried out in 1861, 1881 and early in c20. The construction is of stone blocks (“ashlar”).

From the church website:-
Over the centuries the weather has obviously taken its toll of the exterior stonework and as a result is in constant need of attention. Since 1980, in excess of £250,000 has been spent on essential repairs, much of which has been supported by English Heritage.
