Description

The church has a 12thc. font, south door and two windows in the chancel. However, most of the church dates from the 13th and 14thc. and there is a distinctive, late medieval bell-turret.

History

The value of Biddestone manor to its lord in 1086, who was Thorkill, was £1. The church does not appear in the 1296 Taxatio so was most probably woth less than 2 marks.
