Turnastone was one of the smallest parishes in Herefordshire, with a handful of dwellings and mostly farmpasture land. A history of the parish was published by Logaston Press in 2010, currently out of print but available in local libraries. The name derives from a Norman settler, Ralph de Tournai, and an early chapel dedicated to St Leonard is thought to have been near the bridge further up the Slough valley, south-west of the present church. St Leonard is commemorated in a 20th-century stained glass window in the chancel. From 2019 the parish has merged with Vowchurch, managed by a joint PCC and alternating services between the two churches. The church building dates from the late 12th/early 13th century with a font bowl of similar date
