The church consists of a nave, chancel and west tower. It dates from the late 14th and 15thc. and was restored in the 19thc. The font dates from the 12thc.
The church may have been standing in the 12thc., but the earliest reference to it is of 1291, when it was valued £ 10. 10s. 0d.
This font is unique in Wiltshire but, in a strange way, it echoes a fairly common type where a series of scallops run around the edge of the bowl.
