Notes about the Church	The earliest recorded reference to the village of Wootton is in a charter of 687 AD wherein the name occurs as Uudeton. Wootton is not mentioned in the Domesday Book, but the church occurs in the Domesday Monachorum in the list of priests and churches paying customary to the Archbishop of Canterbury. We can, therefore, say with some assurance that Wootton church is of Saxon foundation, however there are no visible signs of the remains today. The church is largely of 13th century construction with lancet windows in both the nave and chancel. The church was restored by public subscription in 1879. There is one working bell in working order, made by Joseph Hatch in 1629.
