St Michaels has a nave with a S aisle, added in 1857, and no clerestorey, chancel with a N organ niche, and a short 14thc. W tower. The S arcade is of three bays and there is no nave doorway on this side. The N doorway, under a porch, is of c.1200 and is the only Romanesque feature of the church.
Creaton was held by Gunfrid de Chocques in 1086. No church or priest was recorded.
Benefice of Cottesbrooke with Great Creaton and Thornby.
Pevsner suggests a late 12thc. date for the doorway despite the pointed, chamfered head, presumably on the grounds of the waterleaf capitals and attic bases.
