So, when in history do we first hear mention of what is now Northop Church?
Well, the church is first mentioned in the Norwich Taxation of 1254, then in the Lincoln Taxation of 1291 as 'Ecclesia de Llanewrgain cum Capella sua de Flynd taxatur' with a taxable valuation of £30 6s 8d. Again the church is mentioned in the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535 when, building of the Church Tower as we now see it was taking place, as mentioned in a post of a few days ago - this was probably the time the Church was rededicated to St. Peter from St.Eurgain but this is not certain.
Wouldn't you like to go back in time to see exactly what was going on!

The Blenheim Boys
‘The devotion and gallantry… are beyond all praise. The Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava is eclipsed in brightness by these almost daily deeds of fame.’
Winston Churchill on the Blenheim Crews - Prime Minister’s Personal Minute, M.852/1, 30 August 1941
