Background
History
The Church is a pre conquest Anglo Saxon building. It was given to the Knights Hospitaller in 1165 by Robert de Bakepuiz and they developed the building until around 1540. The church is home to an alabaster effigy of a priest, thought to be John de Belton, which is believed to be the oldest existing alabaster effigy of a priest in the country. The church is mentioned along with the village in the Domesday Book. Within the churchyard is the grave of Anne Mozley, editor of the Anglican papers of Cardinal (St) John Newman.
