Wincanton's old church dates from perhaps Saxon times. Certainly it was in a prime spot for trouble during the Danish invasion of the nineth century and part of the old Kingdom of Wessex. The present structure is mainly a result of the major restoration in 1887-89, although the tower is a survivor, possibly dating from the fourteenth century.
