History
The Church is a pre conquest Anglo Saxon building.[3] It was given to the Knights Hospitaller in 1165 by Robert de Bakepuiz and they developed the building until around 1540.[4] 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.[5] The church is mentioned along with the village in the Domesday Book.[6] Within the churchyard is the grave of Anne Mozley, editor of the Anglican papers of Cardinal (St) John Newman.
