No entry found for this Pickworth in the Domesday survey. The Victoria County History (Rutland, vol. 2, 1935) notes: "The church of ALL SAINTS, built in 1821, stands a short distance to the south-east of the site of the medieval church, which is said to have been partially destroyed at the time of the battle of Losecoat Field, and was so much decayed in the latter part of the 17th century that nothing but the steeple was then standing. [...] The square block font has bevelled edges and may be old; its flat oak cover dates from 1905. [...] The advowson of the church of Pickworth belonged in early times to the lords of the manor. [...] It is not mentioned in the conveyance of 1472 by which the co-heirs of Sir Robert Danvers sold the manor to Richard Danvers, possibly because the church was then destroyed, nor is it mentioned in the inquisitions taken on the deaths of Sir William Hussey and David Malpas. It is said there were no churchwardens in 1546 and no church in 1598."

Of ashlar, double-chamfered, with triple-shafted responds and leaf capitals."
