This is the smallest parish church in Wiltshire, and is reputed to be the second smallest in England still in regular use. According to the Guinness book of records the smallest is at Culbone in Somerset.
The building was erected in the 13th century, and the flint and stone walls are almost entirely original. The turret was added in the early part of the twentieth century, replacing an earlier one as two bells are recorded in 1553.
The stone cross on the east gable and the lancet window at the north end of the chancel are original, the other windows being added later. There is a priest's door in the south wall of the chancel, which has been filled in - visible on the photo below.
A delightful church well worth a visit!
