St. Mary's Church, East Knoyle

[1] Pevsner described its chancel as "Norman in its bones" and wrote that its 17th-century plaster decoration, a "surprise and delight", "ought to be the purpose of a visit from every Wiltshire tourist".

Plasterwork in the chancel depicting biblical scenes was designed in about 1639 by Dean Christopher Wren.

[4] The building was further extended in the 19th century, along with restoration in 1845 by Wyatt and Brandon, and interior alterations in 1875-6 by Sir Arthur Blomfield.

Their children were all born at the parsonage house, including in 1632 Christopher, who would become a prominent architect.

After Christopher senior was appointed Dean of Windsor in 1635, the family spent part of each year there.
