[3] Records indicate that Huntsham Church was one of several consecrated on 15 June 1336 and was extended in 1430; diocesan registers state that the first rector was Roger de Respremme, in 1263.

[5] By 1850 the church was described by White's Directory as an ancient ivy-mantled structure in terminal decay due to many years of neglect by the estate's owner, Rev.

He ensured that only the finest materials were used with seasoned oak, Ham Hill stone, Maws encaustic floor tiles, and stained glass by Wailes.

[10][11] Troyte also undertook to pay for the work personally, raising £500 for the project by selling 1,000 oak trees to the Royal Navy in Plymouth.

This was achieved on 2 February 1875 when the first full peal of 5,040 Grandsire Triples was conducted by John Acland Troyte, a feat which a plaque in the ringing chamber records.

[23] The clock on the east wall of the tower was supplied by the renowned Messrs Smith and Son of Derby in 1912; it was paid for by a collection of £34.
