The place name Eardisland is of Anglo Saxon origin so it is reasonable to assume that this site goes back further than the building seen today. The oldest part of the church is the 12th century nave, the chancel, vestry and porch were added in the 14th century. A tower was built in the 15th century but collapsed in 1728 and was replaced by the present one in 1760. Inside there is usually an exhibition going on which adds to the architectural and artistic reasons for a visit. A full guide is available.
