About St Mary Magdalene's Church, Lillington:

A chapel and a quarter of the land in Lillington were granted to the canons of Kenilworth in 1122 to endow their new Priory with an income. This chapel was pre-Conquest in origin, perhaps as early as 970AD. Part of the south wall of the present chancel is a survival of this building, while the Saxon doorway, which now stands between the Lady Chapel and sacristy, may date from about 1020 when the little church was repaired after Canute's 1016 raid into Warwickshire.

By about 1380 the chapel is thought to have developed into a parish church with chancel, nave and short south aisle of two bays. The west tower was added around 1480, and a bell dedicated to St Catherine at this time still hangs in the tower today.

This special event is not to be missed. Make sure to mark your calendars!
