Priston is an old settlement, dating back possibly to a Roman farmstead in the area, but certainly a village granted by King Athelstan, who gave the Manor of Priston to the Monastery of Bath in about 930AD. There is some belief that there was a wooden church here at the time. Priston is later mentioned in the Domesday Book. By the twelfth century, a stone nave was built, with more added in the fifteenth. And as ever, the Victorians put their own stamp on churches in the 1860s, with this one having a pulpit installed.
