There is an entry for [Little] Casterton [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TF0109/little-casterton/] [accessed 22 July 2015]; it mentions a priest, but not a church, in it, though there probably was one there. The Victoria County History (Rutland, vol. 2, 1935) notes: "The original church was probably a rectangular 12th-century building covering the area of the present nave, with small square-ended chancel. To this, c. 1190, a north aisle was added, the wall being pierced by the existing arcade of two bays. [...] The font has a plain octagonal bowl, rounded on the underside, and is probably not older than 1811; it stands on an octagonal stem and has a modern crocketed oak cover."
