It is a Grade I listed building.[4] In 1209 there was a rectory; in 1271, a vicarage was endowed with "all the offerings, the tithes of the mills, a vicarage-house and meadow, and an acre of land adjoining, and twenty acres more of the church's free land, and all other small tithes, except hay, which, with all the corn tithes, and the rest of the glebe, together with the rectory manor, and all its appurtenances, were to belong to the prior himself."[5] The monument to Sir John Kemp (1815) is by the London sculptor Charles Regnart.[6] Mid-air collisionOn 29 January 1944, two United States Army Air Forces, Consolidated B-24 Liberator (42-7669 and 42-100005) collided in mid-air on an assembly mission to Frankfurt from RAF Tibenham, and both aircraft crashed near Gissing.
