The entrance is beneath the small two-stage south tower which was added in the 14th century,[5][4] and is supported by diagonal buttresses.

[1] Monuments inside the church include those to George Howe, who died in 1647, and his six children.

[6] The cylindrical stone font with a brass cover, the lintel over the blocked north doorway, and a sculptured relief of the Lamb of God over the inside of the south doorway date from the Norman era.

[2][1] By the 19th century the fabric of the building was decaying, and it was rebuilt in 1860 with little change to its external appearance,[5] at the expense of Alfred Morrison of Fonthill Gifford.

[10] Today the parish of Fonthill Bishop with Berwick St. Leonard falls within the area of the Nadder Valley team ministry, a grouping of sixteen rural churches.
