A Brief Insight...
The church has stood proud for at least 700 years.
Twice during the past 200 years the main body of the Church has been rebuilt, but the tower remains much the same as it did when it was first built of hand-made brick in 1715.
The former church building originally contained four chapels, each representing one of the parishes of Elton, Moston, Tetton and Warmingham.
Before the building of the school in 1839, lessons were held in the lower portion of the Church Tower, a bit different from today’s lessons at Warmingham Primary School.
The churchyard contains many ancient gravestones, near to the rear porch stands the old village cross dating from 1928, for many years, no one realised that this was the original cross as a sundial had been placed on top of it.
