About Us
The earliest known record of the parish church of St Giles is from the early thirteenth century. The original church was built as a Chapel of Ease to nearby Chesterton in the late 1100s.
The original church is said to have been a beautiful twelfth-century Norman edifice in the Romanesque style, with its first Rector appointed in 1215. The church was cruciform until 1639, when the south transept was found to be unsafe and demolished.
