Maxstoke appears in the Domesday survey as 'Machitone' (Reader, 1885: 44-45), but there is no mention of a cleric or church in it. The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 4, 1947) notes: "William de Odingeseles held the advowson of the church of Maxstoke at the time of his death in 1295 [...] and it descended with the manor, and was acquired by William de Clinton, [...] who assigned it to his projected chantry in 1331, [...] and subsequently, in 1336, to his priory of Austin Canons at Maxstoke; [...] whereupon a vicarage was ordained in 1337 by the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, [...] but later the vicarage as well as the rectory was appropriated to the priory and the church was served by a stipendiary priest. [...] The church was valued at £5 6s. 8d. in 1291 [...] The parish church [...] was built about the same time as the priory, c. 1340 [...] The font of stone and marble is modern. In the churchyard stands a disused 18th-century font with a cup bowl and baluster stem." English Heritage [Listing NGR: SP2359286863] (1961) reports a font of the 18th century in this church.
