    The standing wall on this site incorporates remnants of the church built about 900 AD by Æthelflæd, the daughter of King Alfred the Great and also known as the Lady of Mercia.

    Æthelflæd and he her husband Æthelred were rulers of Mercia at a time when its eastern territory was occupied by Danish Viking armies.

    In 909 Æthelflæd and her brother Edward, King of Wessex, successfully lead an army into Danish-held Lincolnshire and brought back powerful relics: the bones of Saint Oswald of Northumbria. The relics were placed in a crypt at the east end of the new church.
