Noted in the Kilsby Village site [http://kilsbyvillage.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=63&Itemid=37] [accessed 15 April 2009]: "Kilsby's church - now dedicated to St Faith but with an earlier dedication to St Andrew (as revealed by wills dating from the c15th/c16th) and perhaps an even earlier one to St Denys (c12th) - was originally founded in the early 1100s as a daughter chapel of the neighbouring parish of Barby."
