The parish church of St Giles, Chesterton, is mostly of an early C14 Decorated style, with some remnants of an earlier C13 church. The church itself is in an isolated field some distance from the village, but near to the old Peytos mansion that was pulled down in 1802.
Built from Hornton stone ⓘ in C13, parts of St Peter's ⓘ parish church are early 12th century, with the squat tower being added in the later part of the century, the church was valued at £10 in 1291. The village and estate was owned by the Spencer family.
