The name of St Ippolyts, although spelled in a variety of ways, is derived from St Hippolytus to whom the village church was dedicated.
According to Daphne Rance in her book on the parish " St. Ippolyts: a country parish in the nineteenth century " ( 1987 ) at various times also known as Epolites, Pallets, Nipples or St Ibbs.

According to the church records, the building was funded by grants supplied by Judith de Lens, the niece of William the Conqueror.
The church was rebuilt in the mid nineteenth century using old materials ' recycled ' from the nearby abandoned Minsden Chapel.
