Background
History
The current church dates to the 13th century. It is thought to have been established in 1209 on the site of a wooden Anglo-Saxon church, as a chapel under St John the Baptist Church in Blisworth. This lasted until the Dissolution of the Monasteries when the Knightley family demolished most of the village to enclose land for sheep farming. The church was protected from demolition by the fact that it had had land granted to it to establish a chantry in Bedfordshire. from the roofs in 2015, causing some rain damage internally. Fund raising to replace the temporary plastic sheeting is well underway.
