Full Description

Two medieval churches are documented in Spridlington, with dedications to St Hilary and St Albinus, presumably with one belonging to each of the two distinct and contiguous medieval settlements. St Albinus was associated with the southern manor and St Hilary with the northern one (see PRN 51457). The parishes were united in 1417 and licence was given to demolish the ruinous bell-tower, nave and chancel of St Albinus. It reportedly stood no more than one fortieth of a mile (c.40m) from the Church of St Hilary and presumably, from the manorial links, to the south. The advowson of St Albinus' was granted to Bullington Priory by Philip de Kyme in the reign of Henry II and a 'vicar of southparissh' was recorded in 1372. {1}
