The church at Aymestrey dates back to the Norman period. Surviving elements from this time are the chancel with two original windows on the north side and the columns of the nave, although at some point they received newer capitals and arches. The west tower and the aisles are late 15th - early 16th century and there is a fine example of a rood screen c.1540 across the front of the chancel. The wood carving on this is very memorable. To the sides of the west doorway internally can be seen two slot holes in the masonry used to secure a bar, which would bear witness to the turbulent history of this area.

In the chancel is an incised alibaster slab to the memory of Sir John Lingen d1506 and his wife Elizabeth Burgh d1522 He was involved in the battle of Mortimers Cross in 1461 on the side of the victorious Yorkists led by the Earl of March, later King Edward IV.
