The Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 9, 1970) notes: "At some time between 1208 and 1214 a rector served the church of Draycot Foliat. [...] By the later 16th century the church was apparently ruinous and in 1572 it was ordered that the benefice should be united with that of Chiseldon and the church of Draycot demolished. [...] The church at Draycot was apparently demolished soon after 1572 [...] and the materials of the former church used to repair the parish church of Chiseldon, where the north aisle subsequently became known as the Draycot aisle.
