No church is mentioned in the Domesday Survey, but in 1086 the manor was held by Eustace the Sheriff. He held 5 hides which Oilard held from him; half a hide from the Abbot of Peterborough; and a further half hide was held from him by Widelard. The last two holdings were entered under Northamptonshire, and it was not until 1888 that the part of the parish formerly included in Polebrook Hundred (Northamptonshire) was wholly transferred to Huntingdonshire.
