The present building is around 12th century, and is constructed from Herefordshire stone. Queen Elizabeth l brought an end to the power of the Bishops, who had profited greatly from the revenue gained from holding the Manor of Upton Bishop, and the Manor was passed to the Hatton family – gradually since then, most of the land belonging to the Church has passed into private hands.

There are church records available from 1571 and these can be viewed at the Hereford County Records Office. The magnificent and intricate font bowl is made from a solid block of stone from the Forest of Dean, and is dated around 1380. An oak cover was added to the font when it was fully restored in the 1870s.

The Havergal family were very prominent in their funding of the church, and near to the entrance to the tower are some children’s seats, which are a memorial to the hymn writer Miss Frances Ridley Havergal, and one of the six bells in the tower has an inscription to the memory of Rev. Francis Ridley Havergal, died 3rd June 1879, who was her brother. The Havergal crest and motton is placed centrally in the Vestry windows, and at one time there was a Havergal organ.

In the churchyard is a grave stone which dates from around the 15th century, and although there is no inscription it is thought to be the grave of a vicar, Thomas Smyth (1415-1432) who was murdered inside the church.
