There was a church here before Domesday, possibly built by the Saxon ‘Alsi', who was lord of the manor at the time of Edward the Confessor.
The present church is largely Norman and originally consisted of a nave and chancel. Later the tower and north aisle were added. The Thellusson family restored and extended the church in the 19th century, adding a south aisle, chapel and porch. The original Brodsworth Hall stood near the church and is known to have been occupied as early as 1665. The Hall is now owned by English Heritage.
There are tombstones in the churchyard from the 16th and 17th centuries. The first recorded burial in Brodsworth was that of Robert Hall on 21st February 1538. There is also a record of the burial of two soldiers in 1664, perhaps the result of a skirmish during the Civil War.
Access is on foot from the grounds of the hall between 2-4pm on very few summer Sunday afternoons when the church is open to visitors or by a gated lane from Brodsworth village. The gate is locked from 4pm – 8am.
