Nothing is known of the original Norman church which stood on the same site as the existing Church. All that remains of it are the two built-up 12th century arches in the North and South walls of the Chancel. The pillar in the South wall has a round abacus and a capital with upright leaves. The whole of the present Church dates between 1320 and 1360, work having been delayed through the decimation of labour caused by the Black Death of 1349.

Enter by the North Porch - late 14th century - and look up at the beautiful stone ribbed and vaulted ceiling. The North door is of solid oak with fine hinges and large square headed nails, and an old sanctuary knocker. Behind this door is a cavity in the wall into which was placed a strong oak beam to secure the door when the Church was used as a place of refuge in times of siege.

Now walk across to the large 13th century stone Font. Stand facing the East end of the church and admire the slender and beautiful proportions of the Nave and Chancel. The pillars are octagonal and above the arcades are the clerestories with their original circular windows. Two clerestory windows face East above the Chancel roof. In the roof, two of the strainer beams across the Nave are modern but one is original.

At the Crossing are the Jacobean Pulpit, Lectern and the Reading Desk. The intricate carving here shows the Herefordshire craftsman at his best. The Pulpit is heptagonal and, like the Lectern, portrays in panels mythical figures and designs derived from nature as befits a country Church.

At the end of the choir stalls is the Reading Desk. The carving in the panel here is much older than that on the Pulpit and lectern and could well be a 13th century carving possibly taken from an earlier pulpit. It depicts a Talbot, (a hunting dog) attacking a Wyvern, (dragon), both mythical beasts, and represents the fight of good over evil.

On the North side is a stone tomb chest bearing four effigies. A local historian, Blount, writing in 1675, attributes these to the Gours, formerly Lords of Marston, a hamlet in the Parish of Pembridge. One pair of figures, early 14th century, is of a civilian and lady. The other pair, later 14th century, is of a priest wearing a cassock, and a lady wearing mourning dress and could be the second wife of Gour. It is thought that the older pair were originally housed in the sepulchral arch.

The Jacobean oak altar rails bear carvings similar in design to some on the Reading Desk. The Riddel posts (1924) were originally placed at the four corners of the altar Table but were moved to their present position in line when new curtains and frontals were donated to the church in 1970.

On the Chancel floor and walls are some very old and interesting memorial tablets. On the floor in the South East corner is a brass tablet inscribed to the memory of Alice Trafford, who built and endowed the Almshouses in East Street in 1667. Alice was the daughter of Dr William Sherborne and widow of Dr Thomas Trafford, both former Rectors of Pembridge. Two large wall tablets with coats of arms commemorate these Rectors. The large floor tablet recording the death of Dorothy, mother of Thomas Trafford in 1621 is the oldest in the church. Above the Crossing hangs a fine brass candelabra dated 1722.

Returning to the Crossing, move towards the South Transept. In the angle between the chancel and the South Transept is a turret. Through this turret runs a stone spiral staircase which led to the rood loft or singing gallery. High up the turret can be seen the doorway, protected with bars, that gave access to the gallery from the staircase.

The Transept windows are exceptionally tall and slender. The Lady Chapel in the south Transept was known as the Byletts Chapel and there are tablets to the Evans family, former Lords of the Manor, who lived at the Byletts just to the West of the village. To the left of the Altar Table is a small brass tablet to Thomas Smith (1661) of Weston Court, bearing a quaint rhyme. On the walls, some mural writings can be seen of the Creed and Lord's Prayer, probably 17th century. These were uncovered from under whitewash when the Church was restored in 1909. There is also a panel of red medieval decoration. The stained glass window above the Holy Table is in memory of Susan Catherine, wife of Thomas Gornall, formerly a doctor in Pembridge.

Proceeding along the South Aisle notice more floor tablets. On the wall are further black-lettered panels of the Creed and Lord's prayer, the latter having been restored. The window at the West end of the South Aisle contains some of the original medieval stained glass depicting St Christopher carrying the child on his shoulder, St Lawrence with his gridiron, and St Stephen. At the West end of the North Aisle the window has fragments of medieval glass with the figure of an angel. It is believed that most of the medieval glass was destroyed when Pembridge was the scene of much fighting during the Civil War.

Now walk up the North Aisle and into the North Transept where there is a beautiful stained glass window in memory of Urania Parker of the Old Steppes, at one time the Rectory. Also on the wall are more mural writings of the Ten Commandments.

Move to the central crossing and face the Font to admire the great West window protraying fourteen Gospel scenes. Over the South arcade of the Nave is a large plaster coat of arms of the Coningsby family, Lords of the Manor of Pembridge in the 17th and 18th centuries. At the West end of the North Aisle is a large board listing the many charities belonging to the Parish.

The Parish registers date from 1550 and are now housed in the County Record Office, Harold Street, Hereford, for safe keeping. The Parish chest holds a fine and complete record of Vestry meetings and Poor Law records dating from 1680.

Leaving the church, walk round the exterior. The West door is original and bears shot holes locally attributed to Cromwell's soldiers. Like the old South door, it is plastered up on the inside. Note the pretty rood stair turret with pinnacle at the junction of the Chancel and South Transept. On the other side of the hedge close by can be seen the remains of a moat which once surrounded a castle or fortified manor house.
