An older church, renovated or re-bulit ca. 1760 is noted in http://www.chusar.fsnet.co.uk/index.htm [accessed 21 March 2009]: "The Sarsden advowson was granted to Bruern Abbey in 1201 by Roger Golafre. The Church was probably a Chapel attached to the Manor House much as it is today. There is no evidence of a Saxon Church but it would have been where the present one stands."
