St James

The gallery was refronted in glass and oak, and houses a resited organ console

Principal Fixtures: The Victorian pews were replaced by moveable chairs and a carpeted floor (2008). Neo-Perp oak pulpit, c. 1890-1914

Good stained glass, including the east window by William Wailes, 1849, and the north aisle north, first window from the east, by C.E. Kempe, c. 1901

Large standing wall monument in white, grey and black marble to Bridget Nicholas of Ashton Keynes, d. 1752

No figure decoration, triptych inscription flanked by Ionic columns with a flat entablature

In the south aisle, various fittings reflecting the Wiltshire Regiment's association, notably a green marble tabernacle with two bronze figures of soldiers, containing the Regimental book of the fallen in the First World War

History: A chapel of ease to Bishop Cannings may have been built in the late C14 or early C15 (it was certainly extant by 1461), possibly on the site of a hospital chapel which disappeared after 1338

It developed parochial status by the 16th century, and the dedication to St James was recorded in 1505
