It stood close to the Nadder and Fisherton Mill, half a mile north-west of the cathedral at grid reference SU 137 300.

[4] As the population of the area grew, around 1850 a decision was made to replace the old church, probably at the instigation of William Corbin Finch.

[2] Some masonry came from the old church, including some piers and arches, and the tower was built with the same dimensions so that the bells and bell-frame could be re-used.

As built, the church had a chancel, a wide nave with an aisle, a tower at the south-west corner with a pyramidal roof, and a south porch.

[2] Julian Orbach, in his update of Nikolaus Pevsner's Buildings of England volume, calls the stair-turret on the west front of the tower "quirky".

[5] Flat-roofed church rooms with exteriors of white piers and plate glass were added on the north side in 2009.

[10] The parish registers from 1654 (christenings and marriages) and 1653 (burials), other than those in current use, are held in the Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office.
