The building

Dorton church was originally a chapel of ease for Chilton. It has never been an independent parish, but has been under the same patronage as Ashendon until 1921 when it was coupled with Chilton.

The church was built in the 12th century, and originally consisted of an aiseless nave and chancel. The font bowl is the only visible remnant of this era. In the 16th century the nave was widened and the present windows added at that time. The south aisle was added around 1340 to form a private pew for the lord of the manor.
