Parish Church

The Church of England parish church of St John the Baptist is in Caldecott Road between Caldecott and Chelveston. The earliest parts of the church are 13th-century, including the north tower. Part of the chancel is 14th-century. The south porch was built in 1635.^[2] The arcades were rebuilt and the north aisle added in 1849–50 to designs by the architect E. F. Law.^[3] The church is a Grade II* listed building.^[2]

The north tower has a ring of five bells, but currently they are unringable. Accordingly a new electronic bell sound system was installed in 2012.

Church Bells

Henry Penn of Peterborough cast the second and tenor bells in 1727. Thomas I Eayre of Kettering cast the treble bell in 1744. Robert Taylor of Loughborough cast the third and fourth bells in 1819.^[4]
