 It is located in the centre of the town, just south of the River Leam in what was the old core of the town.The Domesday Book of 1086 reports that there was a priest present in "Lamintone", (an old name for Leamington) although there is no specific mention of a church.The earliest record of one was from the 12th century when Leamington was still a tiny hamlet in the parish of Leek Wootton.
