The largest of five churches in the parish of Greater Whitbourne, St John the Baptist is located directly beside Whitbourne Court, a moated medieval Bishop's Palace used by the Bishop of Hereford as a summer residence (now a much restored private residence).
The church interior has been much restored in the Victorian period and includes some lovely 19th-century stained glass, but the real treasure of the church is the ancient Norman font.
The church consists of a nave, chancel, and aisle, primarily in Norman style, with the addition of a west tower in Perpendicular Gothic.
