West door Highworth church, with cannon hole
The west door of St Michaels. Note the damage to the stonework just to the left of the door in this photo. The hole was caused by a cannonball fired by Parliamentary forces when they defeated the Royalist garrison of Highworth in 1645. The cannonball has been preserved in the church.
