Childerley is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Childerley Hall was built by Sir John Cutts in after clearing and depopulating the two existing villages of Great Childerley and Little Childerley[1]. There were originally two churches in Childerley, one of which was dedicated to St Mary. Both were demolished by Sir John Cutt[2]. Queen Elizabeth I is recorded [3] as having sent the Spanish Ambassafor to stay with Sir John Cutts at the Hall.
