In the 1800s' - Shocklach St Edith is an Ancient Parish and includes: Caldecott, Shocklach Oviatt, and Church Shocklach. The parish is sometimes referred to as Church Shocklach. Other dwellings and places within the parish include Castletown (part), Green Croft, Lane End (part), Lordsfields, Port Green, The Saughans.
St Edith's is a small Norman church, one of the oldest ecclesiastical buildings in Cheshire. The church is a Grade I listed building and its simple Norman work is considered to be unique in Cheshire. The dedication is an unusual one and the church is detached from the population and this has given rise to speculation about the reasons for this.
The church was built about 1150 by Thomas de Shocklach. The chancel was added in the 14th or the 15th century. In the 17th century the west wall of the nave was restored and altered to provide a small baptistry between two buttresses. A vestry was added to the north of the chancel in 1926.
