Parish History[edit | edit source]
EXTON (St. Peter and St. Paul), a parish, in the union of Oakham, hundred of Alstoe, county of Rutland, 5¼ miles NE by E from Oakham. [1]
Additional information:
The exterior was much restored in 1850 after a lightning strike in 1843. "There are no churches in Rutland and few in England in which English sculpture from the 16th to the 18th centuries can be studied so profitably and enjoyed so much as at Exton" (Nikolaus Pevsner).
In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Exton like this:
EXTON, a village and a parish in Oakham district, Rutland. The village stands on an affluent of the River Gwash, 5 miles ENE of Oakham railway station; and was known, at Domesday, as Exentune.
The Victoria County History of Exton (1935) is available. It includes a history of the manor, church, advowson, and charities.[2]
