The first church was built c.1350, nearer the road next to the Saxon cross. It was rebuilt in 1606 and then this present building replaced it in 1798. The churchyard was extended in 1823 and again in 1862. There is a very detailed history of the church by Richrd Kay:- https://www.stmatthewsrastrick.org/599102199077.htm
