The Church of the Holy Ascension was commissioned and financed by Sir William Jaffray Bart of Skilts, who continued to support the church both with hard work and generosity after its construction until his death in 1914. He is repeatedly mentioned in Church records, praised for his generosity in the upkeep of the Church.

Built in memory of his first wife Mabel, the Church was initially opened on Wednesday, 11th July 1888. The Dedication sermon was preached by The Lord Bishop of Worcester. (At this time the Church was included in the Worcester Diocese.)

The Church of the Holy Ascension was designed by the architect J.A. Chatwin of Birmingham. The design of the building is known and referred to as an Early English style of architecture explaining its escape from Victorian 'Gothic', a style not unattractive in itself, but one that would have been wholly unsuitable for this particular rural church. Here is displayed the sensitivity of architect and benefactor for the village environment. The above is taken from the booklet "A Century to Celebrate", available at the Church which includes personal memories of the Church and Village.
