There was presumably a church at Holcot by 1086, when the Domesday Book records the presence of a priest there, although it does not mention a church building as such.[1]

The main structure of the present building was erected in the 13th and 14th centuries. Restoration took place in 1845 and in 1889.[2] The church now consists of a nave, north and south aisles, chancel and west tower. A detailed description also appears on the Historic England website.[3]

The parish registers survive from 1559, the historic registers being deposited at Northamptonshire Record Office.[4]

Holcot is part of a united Benefice along with Brixworth. Each parish retains its own church building.[5]
