[3] In the early Middle Ages the village was well populated for its size, with 154 adults registered for the poll tax of 1377.[3] The celebrated 19th-century missionary Henry Martyn served in Lolworth, which was his first parish from 1803 to 1805 while he was a curate under Charles Simeon at Holy Trinity Church, Cambridge, before setting out for India and present-day Iran and Turkey.[5] Listed as Lollesworthe in 1034 and Lolesuuorde in the Domesday Book of 1086, the village's name means "Enclosure of a man called Loll".[5] Dedicated to All Saints, the building comprises a chancel, a nave with south porch, and a three-storey west tower.In 1960, a local resident, T. B. Robinson, bought the former school from the county council and gave it for use as a village hall, which was then named after him.
