The parish was in the Benington sub-district of the Boston Registration District.
In ancient times there were two monastic institutions here. The first was the Moultry (or Multon) Chantry. The other was St. Lawerence's Chantry, now called Moat House.
The Moultry Chantry was built in 1300 and rebuilt in 1815.
Moat House Chantry was rebuilt in 1835. There was a legend that a tunnel ran from this Chantry to the parish church, but no such passageway has ever been found.
The Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Mary.
The church is thought to be of Norman origin. The tower is dated between 1490 and 1547. The tower was being rebuilt in 1589, but wasn't finished until 1647.
The church seats 573.
