An ancient church built over 1,000 years ago, St Oswald is a focal point of Malpas. Standing on the highest point of the town, it's a prominent feature on the Malpas skyline. A Norman motte and bailey castle would once have stood next to the church but they are now ruined.

Although the church has undergone adjustments and renovations during its history, much of the original architecture remains including a 14th-century tower and six-bay nave.
