The parish church was built in 1901 by Miss Emily Talbot in honour of Saint Theodore of Tarsus, and in remembrance of her late brother of the same name.

Theodore of Tarsus

Until recently, scholarship on Theodore had focused on only the latter period since it is attested in Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English, and also in Stephen of Ripon's Vita Sancti Wilfrithi, whereas no source directly mentions Theodore's earlier activities.

Penitential

The earliest important penitentials were those by the Irish abbots Cummean (c. 650) and Columbanus and the originally Greek Archbishop of Canterbury, Theodore of Tarsus.
