The designation "St. Aldwyns" (Culna Sancti Aylwini) is attested from the 12th century, and differentiates the village from Coln Rogers and Coln St. Dennis, situated further along the River Coln.[3][4] In 1086 in the Domesday book only a single undifferentiated "Culne" is recorded.[5] The name presumably indicates that the church in the village was originally dedicated to St Aylwin,[6] taken to be a form of St Æthelwine,[7] which later became St Aldwyn. At some point between 1535 and 1700 the dedication of the church was changed to St John the Baptist (specifically, to his beheading).[8] The church, in the very south of the parish, was mostly built in the late 12th and early 13th centuries with extensive 19th-century renovations, and is protected as a Grade II* listed building.[9] It is now in the charge of a team ministry alongside neighbouring parishes.
