It is thought several parishioners, who were presented between 1611 and 1632 for failing to attend church or communion, may have been popish recusants. One recusant was said to be living in the parish in the late 17th century. In 1861 a house was certified as a dissenters meeting house. Methodists had a certified meeting house in the parish in 1818, 1823 and 1838, 2 of these houses were at Hatchett.
