'Norman Relics from Bilton Church'

History on the church can be read on the website below and is quoted here:

'There has been a church in the village of Bilton since before the Norman Conquest but the current building, made of local pink sandstone, is believed to have been constructed in the mid-fourteenth century. It would originally have consisted of Tower, Nave and Chancel and is a fine example of Decorated Gothic architecture.
Until at least 1562 the church was always referred to as St. George's Bilton, but from 1656 onwards it has been continuously known as St. Mark's. The reason for this change of dedication is unknown.
The Tower is the only one in the Coventry diocese to contain three pre-Reformation bells - No. 3 dates from c.1450 and Nos. 4 and 5 from c.1460. The remaining three were added at various times, the most recent being the Treble which dates from 1948. This bell is dedicated to the men of Bilton who gave their lives in the Services during the Second World War.'
