Anderson (1864) notes an entry in Domesday Book under 'Calvestone', which some take as an error, but perhaps one of the eighteen 'berewicks' of Morville. Newman & Pevsner (2006) note this was "a tiny two-cell church" of Norman origin, which was "discreetely converted into a house in 1998-2000". [NB: we have no information on the baptismal font of the original church]
