The most delightful, simple church which has early 12th century origins. There was some updating in the 13th century. There are 2 bells, the larger of which is circa 1639, and the smaller is possibly 12th century - if this is correct it is one of only two of this date in Herefordshire.

Aylton is a tiny village near to the market town of Ledbury, and it’s current population of around 100 is not much different to what it was 150 years ago. What HAS changed however is that the large farms, such as Court Farm and the White House, are now private houses and the surrounding land is farmed by those living outside the village. There were no shops, and little in the way of amenities; many of the farms and farm buildings are listed. The patronage of the church runs alongside the ownership of Court Farm. First records show Robert Bray as owner in 1276, and then in the 16th century it belonged to the Walwyn family who lived at Hellens, Much Marcle (just down the road). The Harley family from Brampton Bryan, Knighton, took over in 1619 until 1900.
