[1] During the incumbency of Canon Matthew Woodward, vicar from 1851 to 1898, the church was largely rebuilt.
It contained the bones of a young woman who died in the 7th century; from the position of the reliquary, it was concluded that they were the remains of St Eanswythe.
[9] The remains were finally replaced in the niche, in a specially designed reliquary, in November 2024.
[11] In December 2023, permission was granted by King Charles III for William Brown, a local boy killed in a hit-and-run incident, to be buried in the churchyard.
The 'burial ground variation order', as advised by the Privy Council, permits burials at churchyards previously closed to new interments.
