A fine 13th C Grade I listed building. which stands near the ruins of Acton Burnell castle.  Exceptional craftsmanship for a remote parish church.  It has Medieval floor tiling and traces of flower paintings.  It has a table tomb with brasses including one of the finest brasses in Shropshire, along with a magnificent Elizabethan monument to the Lee family.  With the churchyard containing its heritage collection of dafodils it is a special place, with a wealth of history, architecture, horticulture and spirituality.
