The Rector John de Codyngtoun and John Bauland obtained a license on 12 January 1359 for the maintenance of a priest to perform a daily divine service at the altar of St Peter for the welfare of the founders, Walter Payn, parents and friends. A chantry of St Peter was founded in the north transept on 5 December 1368. Edward III granted a license on 26 June 1373 to Henry de Codyngtoun to settle a house and land on a chantry priest of St Mary and St John the Evangelist. The tower is dated from around 1420. 

In 1538 with the dissolution of Croxton Abbey and Beolvoir Priory, Thomas Manners the 1st Earl of Rutland brought in 5 family memorials.
