2.
The church stands about 500 m south of Chilton Hall in isolation, completely
surrounded by agricultural land. At one time it is considered that a
village stood by the church which was cleared when a deer park was made
to Chilton Hall. A C15 flint church with embattled parapets to nave and
chancel. The west tower is a C16 red brick with embattled parapet, corner
crocketted pinnacles and heavy angle buttresses. A plain flint porch
with a moulded brick parapet projects on the south. On the north side,
opening on to the chancel is the Crane Chapel with 2 table tombs, one
to George Crane (d 1491) and one to Robert Crane (d 1500) and wife. There
is also a wall monument to Sir Robert Crane (d 1643) and 2 wives, carved
in 1626 by Gerard Christmas. Grated for its architectural and historical
value.
