The Doomsday Book survey of 1086 tells us that “Gheftingetorp” was held by Ledmer the Priest before 1066, so it is possible that there was a church here before the Norman Conquest, though most of the present building dates from the 14^th century.

Among many interesting features look out for:

·         The magnificent double hammer-beam roof, probably built by Leveda in c.1495

·         The Tudor red-brick tower, 66 feet tall, built in c.1505.

·         Memorial window to William Edward Oates, Lord of the manor and 19^th century explorer

·         Brass memorial to Captain Lawrence E. G. Oates, who died in a vain attempt to save the lives of his fellow explorers on Captain Scott’s ill-fated Antarctic expedition in 1912.
