The Church has a history dating back to the 11th century, with significant structural changes throughout the centuries. While the Domesday Book doesn't explicitly mention a church, evidence suggests Norman stonework and possible Saxon artifacts exist within the current structure. Evidence points to a possible Saxon presence, with Norman stonework in the chancel and artifacts of Saxon origin. The nave and chancel were added in the 12th century. The late 14th-century tower intrudes into the early 14th-century nave, reducing it from four bays to three and a half.

Not a bad place to stop for a break, refuel just off the main road with big views over the surrounding area, shame there are no longer any planes to watch from RAF Scampton.

The very old Stone Bridge over the river Idle just outside Eaton. A lovely place to stop and have a minute. There are walking trails along the river back to Ordsall. It's very picturesque and quiet at this spot.
