History

The Elmdon estate was purchased in 1760 by Birmingham banker, Abraham Spooner (ca. 1690-1788). Elmdon Hall was stated in 1780 and at the same time, he demolished the old medieval church, and constructed a new one adjacent to Elmdon Hall (demolished in 1956), to the designs of John Standbridge of Warwick. It was altered in 1864 and restored in 1880 at a cost of £640.

The church was extended in 1979 when a new nave was added to the south.
