The present Church dates from 1727 but there is a strong suggestion that there was an earlier chapel and this Church was a chapel of ease to Withington (a neighbouring parish). The Church is served by a plethora of footpaths. To the east is a north to south track which was part of the Roman road from Ashton (near Berrington off the A49) to Ariconcum (near Bromarsh Ross-on-Wye).
The village name “Preston Wynne” suggests “priests estate” or farmland and the first documentary reference was in the Domesday Book of 1086.
There are significant bumps and hollow in the field next to this isolated church which may indicate the site of a deserted medieval village.

A unique Georgian board dating from 1803, listing in alphabetical order the donors, their residencies and the amount they gave towards the building of the Church.
Unusually for an object of this type the Board is embellished with a painting of the church.

The 1839 tithe map shows the houses in the named pews and the size of the farms.
A number of timbers from the earlier roof structure appear to have been re-used, with redundant sockets visible to the trusses and purlins clad to give the appearance of new timbers.
