The Domesday book records a resident priest in Powick in 1087. The original church was probably built of wood, before being replaced with stone. Parts of the current building date back to the 12th century; the tower was added later in the 15th century. In 1651 the tower was used as a lookout post by Royalist forces at the Battle of Worcester during the English Civil War; musket shot marks can still be seen in the south tower wall.
The churchyard/burial ground covers about 4 acres and is one of the largest in England; it has gravestones dating back to 1672.
