The church is mentioned in the Domesday Book, but was rebuilt in 1772. There are a few fine stained glass windows and memorials. Admire the newly stitched kneelers. The churchyard contains many old gravestones, and a wooden seat with a beautiful view across some meadows.

There is a church leaflet, giving more details of the history of the village of Kilmeston and the church.

There have recently been two archaeological digs in the churchyard extension and some artefacts found, including evidence of Anglo Saxon metal working. The archaeological report is to be found in the church.

The area has now received planning permission to become a graveyard.
