Another church, All Saints, which stood 500m to the south was destroyed by the fall of its tower ca1700. Since then the church has often been referred to as All Saints with St. Mary.

The parish registers record the baptisms, marriages and burials of the Armiger and Newell families from the beginning of the 17th century.
