Nowadays St Peter's church at Wolfhampcote is owned by the Churches Conservation Trust, and remains a consecrated building, although services are only held here once a year.
The church originally served the nearby medieval village which was abandoned some time during the 17th century. After which the church continued to serve the villages of Flecknoe, Sawbridge, and Nethercote. Although a public inquiry in 1517 found that there had been two acts of enclosure and dispossession of tenants in 1501 and 1510, excavations in 1955 showed that some activity occurred on the village into C17 and that it was eventually abandoned due to waterlogging.
