Our grade 11 listed church in the small village of Alderton is dedicated to St Giles an 7th century french Abbot, who gave much of his time to the care of lepers. It is thought that the church dates from about the 11th or 12th century, although there was an extensive rebuild in the 19th century when a spire was also added to the tower. The church was largely rebuilt during the renovation of the 19th century (1844-45) undertaken by James Thomson using elements from the 12th to 15th century church. The original features that remained after this included pointed arches, the roof of the nave, the Saxon pillars of the north door and most of the tower.
