Its history dates from the 12th century[1] and it lies in a peaceful setting in the Wiltshire countryside. The church was rebuilt in 1878 by William Butterfield and is Grade II listed.[2]

An unusual feature inside the church consists of two huge tree trunks which originally supported the bells in the free-standing bell tower.
