[2] A church was first mentioned as being in the village when the abbot of Malmesbury held a court leet here each year under a licence from king Edward the Martyr (975-979), and in the Domesday Book it was listed as being in the Langley hundred, and having a priest and thirty acres of pasture.

[3][4] The present parish church of St Mary's of Malmesbury is a Grade II* listed building, having been registered on 30 March 1960.

It is built out of rubble stone in the Decorated style, with a roof of fish-scale tiles.

The plan consists of a nave, south porch and aisle, chancel, north vestry, and tower at the west end.
