The Devizes Heritage website states that this church was built in 1852 for about £1800 on land donated by the Reverend Richard Biggs, to an architectural design of Mr Hardick of Warminster. It had seating for 700 and a schoolroom. The Presbyterians accepted the invitation to worship in the new building, whereupon the Presbyterian chapel next door was demolished.
