According to the church website http://www.aldenhamchurch.com/church-history.html there are a large number of Hertfordshire pudding stones incorporated into the building which may indicate that the church was built from stones used in a pre-Christian site of worship. The first written record of the existence of the church dates from 1267. The lower part of the tower dates from C13,while a lot of the rest of the church dates from the C15.
