Until 1893 the parish formed an exclave of Worcestershire within Herefordshire. In 1961, the parish had a population of 18.[1] On 1 April 1986, the parish was abolished and merged with Saltmarshe to form "Edvin Loach & Saltmarshe".[2]
The old church at Edvin Loach was built in the mid-11th century or later and was dedicated to St Giles. It is built within the earthworks of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle.[3] Later it was re-dedicated to St Mary. The old church gradually became dilapidated, though its roof was still intact as late as the 1890s. It is in the guardianship of English Heritage.[3] The new St Mary's Church, designed by Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1860, stands next to the ruins of the old church.[4] It is an example of 19th-century church architecture designed in Early English style.
