Located on the corner of The Hollow and High Street.

Seen from the west. "The village of Dilton Marsh seems to have been first established in the 18th century and there were probably non-conformist meetings here. The village quickly became more populous and important than Dilton and in 1843-4 a church was built here after a lengthy search for a piece of land, which was eventually bought for £420. An amount of £3,602, mostly given by Thomas Henry Hele Phipps, was raised by subscription and the church itself cost £2,400, although the total, including site cost, endowment, repair fund, schoolroom and parsonage house, came to £4,600. The church was designed by T.H. Wyatt and built by William Brown of Frome. It is in ashlar, in the 12th century style, with an apsidal chancel, a nave, north and south transepts and a vestry."
