EXTERNAL REFERENCES
This church, which Robson states were erected in the 17th century, but which the NSA says was built in 1757, and the Name Book gives as 1759, succeeded Mordington Old Church (NT95NE 6 - burned down in 1756 or 1758) as the parish church, and was in use till 1869 when the present church was built (at NT 9467 5546). It was a small plain structure, but no trace remained of it in 1896.
