Take a Walk to See Three Historic Churches in the Wylye Valley
Heritage Open Day: Visit the tiny church of St James, view the early Norman tympanum and the hand pumped organ at St Margaret's and the amazing William Butterfield decorations and Hungerford Chapel at St Peter and Paul's Church. The church of St James in Tytherington is believed to be the smallest church in the area. It measures 49 feet by 13 feet and has walls 3 feet in thickness. Its simple interior has hardly changed since the 12th century. The font is believed to be part of the original 12th church and the simple oak pews date from the early 17th century.
St Margaret’s Church in the village of Knook was restored by William Butterfield in 1874 but his thoughtful restoration retained many of the early Norman features.
