Founded following the Norman Conquest, when lands were awarded by William the Conqueror to Robert Count of Mortain, including the area now known as Drayton Beauchamp. It was originally built in 1213 but the current buildings mainly date from the 15th century when it was restored and partially rebuilt from materials used in the earlier structures. In 1867 the church was again restored, with battlements, previously confined to the west tower, extended to the remainder of the building. In recognition of its architecture and history, St Mary’s was Listed, Grade 1, in 1967.
