The Grade II* listing text begins "The outside is mostly Victorian, but a little long-and-short work in the west wall south of the tower is evidence that the west end of the nave incorporates some remains of a Saxon chapel. The tower was completely rebuilt in 1853, on the model of smaller Perp village churches in Somerset: of two stages, with diagonal buttresses, embattled parapet and two-light bell openings". The road is narrow and winding, so the church path is a safe route for pedestrians.

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.
