Loddington is a very small village in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, on the boundary with Rutland. It is 12 miles E of Leicester but the closest major town is Oakham (Rutland) 5 miles to the NE. The church stands outside the village, in fields to the S, and can only be reached on foot. It consists of a 3-storey W tower, an aisled nave with a clerestorey and a S porch, and a chancel. The tower has 3 storeys with 12thc lancets in the second and 14thc bell-openings. Angle buttresses have been added. Apart from this and a doorway reset in the S aisle the church is of the early 14thc, with clerestorey and chancel windows dating from the 15thc. It is built of ironstone with limestone dressings. The only Romanesque feature is the S doorway.

In 1086 Loddington was held by Robert de Bucy, and by Robert from him. Half of this land was held by Gerard. Before 1125 Richard Basset and his wife Maude endowed their priory of Launde with the village of Loddington, and presumably the church, as well as more than 13 other churches in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Rutland. The village and its church is assumed to have remained in the possession of the abbey until the Dissolution.

Although the List Description simply describes this doorway as 12thc, the author agrees with Pevsner that the slight chamfer of the jambs and arch suggests a late 12thc, or possibly a 13thc date. The form of the impost reinforces this conclusion.
