Background
History
It is likely that a wooden church and then a Saxon stone once stood on the same site. The monks of the Ruxox Cell acted as priest for the church until the Dissolution of the Monasteries when the abbot of Dunstable Priory surrendered to the king. Rebuilding in 1835 included the dismantling and reassembly of the Norman doorway in the north wall of the nave.
Architecture
The ironstone building has ashlar dressings and clay tile roofs. The pulpit is part of what was originally a three-decker. The memorials in the church include one to the men of Flitwick who died in World War I and World War II.
