Built by Peter Serle, this impressive Grade II listed little church's first stone was laid on the 16 September 1812 and completed by 1820. In the tower are two small bells, both blank, but of very early type, with domed crowns, straight sides, and a sound bow of angular section on the inner face. They may date as far back as the twelfth century, and are probably the two oldest bells in the county. Bells of this early type are to be met with here and there at very wide intervals all over England, but that two such bells should have survived together is an event of the greatest rarity. There are references to a church here in the Domesday Book so they may well have come from that as well as the C12 font. Sadly, I was unable to see inside due to the church being locked. There is easy car parking to be had outside the church along Chilworth Old Village. Whilst here you may want to view the Chilworth Old Village Conservation Area (a few minutes walk) which has cottages dating from the 16th century.
