The living is a perpetual curacy in the diocese of Ely, value £53, in the patronage of Lord Henniker, who is also lord of the manor, and impropriator of the great tithes, which have been commuted for £465 per annum. The church, after having been in ruins for more than a century, was rebuilt of brick in 1853, by Lord Henniker, at a cost of £2000. Previously Thorpe Chapel, erected in 1739, supplied the place of the parish church; but since the opening of the new church the chapel has been pulled down, the tower only being left standing to serve as a cemetery chapel."
