The church has a simple Norman W tower built in rubble with some masonry laid in a herringbone arrangement. This is the only Romanesque fabric that survives in situ but a series of reset fragments in the external walls of the nave and W tower suggest that there was another 12th-century doorway. The body of the church is 19th-century.
Ælfric of Melksham held Wilsford in 1086. There was land for 2.5 ploughs, with meadows and pastures. No church is mentioned.
