Exterior

From the Wiltshire County Council website:
"The church spire was struck by lightning in 1742, and again on 6th January 1762, in freak thunderstorms.
On the second occasion the spire fell and destroyed the roof of the north transept and part of the roof of the north aisle.
In the rebuilding of the church a second storey was added to the tower in place of the spire, thus reducing the height."
