St Nicholas is a small 13thc. church that was rebuilt and restored in 1802 and in the mid 19thc. The font is the only 12thc. carving in the church.
The DB only records that William Durus held West Tytherton of Alvred.
This font is unusual in Wiltshire, as it has carving all over it. Most fonts have decoration set within discrete bands or areas, with large areas of undecorated stone.
The church also has a 12thc. bell, similar in form to the one at Keevil.
