The history of Little Witley church is a little obscure. It was not a parish church at the time of the Norman conquest but a chapelry of St. Helens in Worcester.
It apparently did not have a font or burial ground until 1375 when application was made to the mother church, as the parish church of Holt was 2 miles distant and the road, especially in winter, 'watery and muddy'.

The church that stands today was rebuilt in 1867, although a blocked doorway in the north end of the nave is said to date from the early thirteenth century.
Some of the foundation courses of the current building may be equally as old. The 'new' church was designed by Abraham Edward Perkins, Worcester's church architect.
