• The church of Washingley is mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086, but it has long since disappeared and nothing is known of its architectural form. It is believed to have stood in Chapel Close near the Keeper's Lodge.
• In 1447 it was said to have been vacant and, on account of the smallness of the living, it had been annexed to Lutton in Northamptonshire. By 1534 the church was described as having fallen down and broken such that it could not be used for divine services. It was locally believed that the materials were removed to Lutton and Yaxley, and two monuments in the former church dated 1603 and 1633 are said to have been removed from this chapel, but it would seem more likely that they were originally put up at Lutton.
• In the Folkesworth Register, a marriage is recorded in Washingley chapel in 1735 but it is incredible that the church could have been standing then. The reference is possibly to a private chapel in Washingley Hall. In 1739, Washingley people were married at Caldecote.

• There are no church records for Washingley. The inhabitants used Caldecote and Folkesworth parish churches.

• The parish of Washingley was in the Peterborough Registration District from 1st July 1837. Subsequently it became part of the Stilton sub-District. It is now again part of the Peterborough Registration District, where it is still kept apart from Folksworth.
