Viewed across Chancel Lane, at the edge of the town centre. The Wilmslow Parish website states that there has been a church on this site since the 13th century, when it was probably built by Sir Richard Fitton, who held the Manor of Bollin. The first evidence of its existence is in 1264. The church seen here is substantially the product of the rebuilding undertaken by Henry Trafford, Rector between 1517 and 1537. The church was Grade I listed (the highest category) in 1951.
