West tower: rectangular plan. Two stages with set-back to belfry, corbelled plain parapet, and weathervane. Louvred round-arched belfry openings, 2-light on long sides with quatrefoil plate tracery and central shaft with moulded base and cushion capital. Ground-floor chamfered rectangular window to west. Clock below belfry opening to south. C20 lean-to vestry in angle of tower and nave to north. Interior: collar and tie-beam roof trusses with queen posts. Doors in round arch at base of tower, giving access to clock mechanism and to belfry. Early C19 raised and fielded wainscot panelling. Other fittings mainly late C19 including Gothic reredos, wrought iron altar rails, chancel screen carved by 6 parishioners and presented in 1898 in commemoration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, pulpit carved and given by Mrs Elizabeth Wright in 1900, pews with carved traceried panels, font given in 1889 with marble stem and circular bowl with trefoil panels, and organ with painted pipes. Late C19 stained glass in east window and some fragments of possibly C18 painted glass in south windows; mainly plain diamond-leaded glass. A few early C19 memorial tablets. Grinshill was a chapelry of Shawbury in 1130 and was an independent church by the C17. It has been suggested (Cranage) that some C17 or C18 remains survive at the base of the tower. D.H.S.
