No entry found for Bringhurst in the Domesday survey. Cox & Harvey (1907: 206) list a baptismal font of the Norman period here. The Victoria County History (Leicestershire, vol. 5, 1964) notes: "Bringhurst church, which contains work of the 12th century, was described about 1220 as the mother church on which the chapels of Great Easton and Drayton were dependent. [...] The church of ST. NICHOLAS stands at the highest point of Bringhurst Hill [...] The north arcade of two bays dates from the late 12th century. [...] The plain octagonal font may date from the 14th century".
