Little Easton Church,
built on the site of a Saxon structure, is of Norman origin. It seems that a Roman tower stood there earlier, and many Roman tiles and bricks are visible in the external wall masonry. There is no evidence of the dedication of the church.
Later work on the structure of the church dates from the 12th century (nave), 13th century (chancel), 15th century (tower) and 19th century (chancel north aisle). The church served both the village and the needs of the great house, Easton Lodge. This was the seat of the Lords Maynard and later, by marriage a home of the Earl and Countess of Warwick. The church features many fine memorials to members of this family, to the Bourchiers, and to many others. It also has fine mediaeval wall paintings and remarkable 17th century stained glass. More detail on the paintings can be found on www.paintedchurch.org/lteaston.htmThe North chancel aisle houses the American Chapel, which contains two colourful modern stained glass windows honouring the American bomber crews who flew from the Easton Lodge airfield during the second world war
