Background

History

The earliest documentary evidence of a church on the site is in 1283, although it is likely that there was a church at an earlier date. Most of the present church dates from the mid-15th century, although part of the chancel is possibly older. A chapel dedicated to St Anne was demolished, probably in the 16th century at the time of suppression of chantry chapels in the 16th century. The south porch was added in the early 18th century and a restoration was carried out in 1899.

Architecture

The font is octagonal and dates from the 19th century. The pulpit and choir stalls date from the early 20th century and the organ from 1960. On the floor to the southeast of the pulpit are medieval encaustic tiles. In the nave is a 17th century bier. On the chancel floor are memorial brasses to Sir John Greville who died in 1547 and Sir Edward Greville who died in 1559, both of whom were Lords of the Manor of Milcote. On the wall are three early 19th century memorial tablets to members of the Adkins family, also of Milcote. There is a single bell, dating from the mid-15th century, which is inscribed with a cross and the word Gabriel.
