4 The church is recorded at the time of King John (1199-1216). It is also recorded in 1616-17 and at other times in the 17th century and 18th century. It was dedicated to St Peter and was pulled down in 1836 when a new church was built (MWA1033). Modern farm buildings and slurry from cowsheds disfigure the church site. There were attempts to plough the site during the last war but the stone foundations constantly broke the ploughshares.
