| The Domesday book suggests there has been a church in Freiston since pre the Norman conquest. The building of the current church was established by an endowment by the Norman baron Alan de Croun on 7th March 1114, when he gave lands to Crowland Abbey to create a priory. The founding ceremony is well documented and was a great occasion with 5000 people attending the Abbey |
