Grade I Listed church of 1753 containing a monument to Thomas Becke, died 1757, founder and patron of the church who made a fortune in law 'without the sordid means of avaricious parsimony'. Cherry Willingham is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The current church replaced a wooden building, documented as being on or near to the site, which may date back to 11th or 14th century and was reportedly destroyed by fire. The 24" dia. bell is by Daniel Hedderly dated 1752.
