There is an entry for Packington and [Little] Packington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/packington-and-little-packington/] [accessed 10 December 2014], but it mentions neither cleric nor church in it. Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of 1871-1872 notes: "The church is ancient, and has a wooden tower." The Victoria County History (Warwick, vol. 4, 1947) notes: "The advowson of the church was given by Sir Gilbert Picot to the Prior and Convent of Worcester. [...] The nave is of mid-12th-century origin. The chancel was built, probably as an addition, late in the 13th century. The lower timbering of the bell-turret was constructed late in the 15th century, but the upper part is modern, as are the roofs. [...] The font is probably of the 16th century; it has a cup-shaped bowl on a plain baluster stem: in the bowl are repairs where the former staples for the lid existed." [NB: the building is now private property]
