The Victoria County History (Bedford, vol. 2, 1908) notes: "The church of Haynes is first mentioned in 1150, when it was given by Pain and Rose de Beauchamp to the priory of Chicksands on the occasion of the foundation of the latter. [...] The church of Our Lady was practically rebuilt except the tower in 1850 [...] The oldest masonry details are those of the south arcade of the nave, which is good work of the early part of the fourteenth century [...] The font is octagonal with plain fifteenth-century detail."
