There has been an important church on this site since Saxon times; indeed, some of the stone work dates back to that time, despite having the Normans and the eager Victorians make a number of additions and alterations. The area of Wilton derives from its watercourses that provided for the locals - 'Well Tun'. See Image] for a benchmark or Image] for a better look at the lych gate.
