Historic churches in Wiltshire
Many are Medieval, tucked away in pretty valleys or by rivers. Some retain the traces of their Saxon or Norman past with carved fonts, beautiful doorways or stone arches. Others show the work of later centuries, with opulent monuments and sumptuous colour and decoration.
All the churches in this leaflet have been saved by The Churches Conservation Trust. The Trust is a charity that cares for more than 340 churches in England. This is one of 18 leaflets that highlight their history and treasures.
For more information on the other guides in this series, as well as interactive maps and downloadable information, see visitchurches.org.uk
Wiltshire’s historic treasuresWiltshire is known the world over for its ancient monuments but it has other great treasures – its historic churches.

Inglesham, St John the Baptist An ancient painted wonder saved by William Morris
This remote 13th-century church with Saxon origins stands on a gentle rise of land above waterside meadows near the Thames and just off the Ridgeway Path. Pioneering Victorian designer William Morris – who lived at nearby Kelmscott – oversaw St John’s restoration in the 19th century, ensuring it kept its original Medieval identity. An amazing series of paintings, from the 13th to the 19th century, cover the walls and a lovely Saxon stonecarving of the Madonna and Child is set in the south wall.

Fisherton Delamere, St Nicholas A Medieval marvel in wonderful walking country
This hillside church stands in a pretty churchyard and is a convenient stopping point for Wylye Valley walkers. Originally built in the 14th century, today’s church is largely a 19th-century copy, rebuilt in the old style using the original materials. Inside, the church has an airy simplicity. There is a touching 17th-century memorial to two small babies, one shown in bed, the other wrapped in a shroud. The elegant carved screen dates from 1912.

West Dean, Borbach Chantry Memorial secrets in a secluded chapel
Striking memorials grace this fascinating rural chapel – which is all that remains of a 14th-century church. The earliest, a wall memorial from the 1620s, shows John Evelyn and his wife kneeling in grand Stuart fashions, with their 11 children in a line below. Perhaps the most imposing memorial is Robert Pierrepont’s – an angel supports his life-sized marble figure. The chapel stands alone in excellent walking country – a great place to take a break.

Old Dilton, St Mary Church with a curious spire near the White Horse
The 14th-century St Mary’s lies down a pretty wooded lane near the river Biss, on one of the many walking paths to the Westbury White Horse. A railway arch opens out onto a simple churchyard, revealing an unusual church – squat yet pretty, with a tiny stone spire like an inverted ice-cream cone. Inside, little has changed since the 18th century, and furnishings include two small galleries, a three-decker pulpit and box pews.
