The church is about 50 metres east of Babington House. It was built circa 1750 and is considered to be in the style of churches designed by Christopher Wren (1632-1723). In the 1880s and again in the 1930s concerts were held at Babington House to raise funds for its restoration. It is now managed by a charitable trust distinct from Babington House and does not hold regular services. It has been designated as Grade I by Historic England. There are some memorials in the churchyard surrounding the church but the main part of the burial ground is a roughly rectangular plot east of church.
The parish itself is part of the East Mendip Benefice which also includes Coleford, Holcombe and Kilmersdon.
