Add PhotosIn 1004 Wulfric Spott bequeathed land at Wibtoft to Aethelric for life, and then to his newly formed abbey of Burton in Staffordshire. However the village is never recorded in Burton Abbeys documents so there is some confusion whether it actually was bequeathed. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being held by Fulk and Robert the Count of Meulan and before 1066 was held by a Sexi. It passed through many hands and after the Dissolution was let to a Joan Hulley.
The small church of St Mary is sited in a field to the east of the village. There are no burials around the church and the church consists of a chancel (15ft by 13ft) and a nave (40ft by 18ft) with a bellcote at the west end holding one bell. The church was rebuilt in the 19th century but on the original sandstone plinth that the earlier church stood on. There is partitioning at the west end for a small vestry and lobby, there are no memorials and all the fittings are modern. The church is still used and well supported by the local community. The church is locked but is accessible via a gate and short path.
