From the church website:-
There has been a church on this site for more than a 1000 years and it is the only church in England dedicated to St Benedict. The Venerable Bede church, dedicated to the scholar who wrote Benedict’s life story, is located one mile away from the parish church.
It is considered that church of St Benedict Biscop was originally built to pray for souls of those killed at the battle of Tettenhall in (during the Anglo Saxon period), where Edward the Elder defeated the invading Danes halting the established Viking kingdoms expanding south, however no trace of the small original wattle and daub building remains..
