The church at Little Bytham stands on a rise above the main street and is dedicated to St Medard and St Gildard, two little known 6th century French saints, twin brothers who both became bishops and so named because the land hereabouts was granted to a French nobleman following the Norman Conquest in 1066. St Gildard's name was dropped during the 18th century and he was soon forgotten but restored in 1999 following research by local historians.
