The living of Wyton though separate was often appointed with Houghton, and many incumbents are recorded there: see 'Parishes: Wyton', A History of the County of Huntingdon: Volume 2 (1932), pp. 253-254.

It was customary until the last century for a single incumbent to serve the two churches, which were sometimes styled 'the church of Wittona and Hoctona.' They possessed a common endowment of seven virgates of land. In 1252 the men of the manor stated that though Wyton and Houghton were both mother (matrix) churches, they had never known them to be held separately. The right of presentation to both Houghton and Wyton churches belonged to the successive lords of the manor of Houghton (q.v.) until 1882, when the Rev. Morris Piddocke acquired the advowson of Wyton only and became rector there. Early in this century the advowson of Wyton passed from Mr. Piddocke to the representatives of Mr. T. F. A. Burnaby in whose patronage the church remains.'
