The Victoria County History (Worcester, vol. 4, 1924) entry for Stanford-on-Teme notes: "The chapel of Little Stanford (afterwards Overton and Noverton) is mentioned in 1286 [...] Little Stanford was a chapelry of Clifton[-on-Teme] until 1532, when the bishop determined that for the future it should belong to the parish of Stanford[-on-Teme] [...] The chapel was already in ruins in the middle of the 17th century."
