The church was dismantled in 1750 under license from the Bishop of Lincoln. It was built late C13/ early C14 although the first mention of a church at Chesfield is in 1232. It consists of a nave, chancel and south east chapel. The chapel can be seen here. The church is only about mile away from that of St Mary in Graveley and the two churches were united in 1445. There is no evidence of graves surrounding the church today but the churchyard was used until at least as late as 1686. See http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/herts/vol3/pp85-90#h3-0008 for details
