The round tower of St Andrew's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1698393 is believed to date from the 10th or early 11th century. The original Norman south doorway > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1698447 is still in place and on the exterior north wall of the church the piscina for the north aisle altar can still be seen > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1698414 but both north aisle and porch have disappeared. In 1896 the building was extensively restored by Josiah Vavasseur Esq, Lord of the Manor - the furnishings as well as the baptismal font date from this time and a new stained glass window by Morris & Co was installed in the south wall of the chancel > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1698474. Many of the memorials on the walls are to members of the Wright family > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1698459 who acquired Kilverston Hall in the 16th century. A ledger slab on the nave aisle floor commemorates Anne (d 1709), the eldest daughter of George Vilett of Pinckney and wife of Charles Wright of Kilverstone > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1698467. The royal arms to George I - carved in plaster and painted - were the gift of Charles Wright > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1698484.
