Colerne church has nave arcades that date from around 1200 (south) and the early 13th century (north). The chancel dates from the 13th century but was altered in the 19th century. The west tower dates from the 15th century. The church was restored in c.1854 and 1877 by Wilson, Willcox and Wilson of Bath. The only Romanesque sculpture is a c.1200 figure of a saint in a niche, set into the north wall of the nave.

In 1086, Humphrey de L'Isle held Colerne. Before the Conquest it had been in the hands of Leofnoth, under whom it had paid geld for 10 hides. Its worth remained unchanged at £10.
