Twelve oxgangs of land were, by Galfrid de Elton, given to the Dean and Chapter of York.

The Prebendary of Langtoft has his manor in Grimston, and ten oxgangs of land on demesne, and four bond tenants holding as many tenements and eighteen oxgangs of land ; also eight acres of Forland, and jurisdiction over them all.

The Church was given by Robert de Monasteris to St. Mary's Abbey, but afterwards became part of the possessions of the Prebendary of Langtoft, to which it was appropriated, and a Vicarage ordained therein, 26th June 1408.

The Prebendary is the patron.
