A lovely Norman church in the banks of the River Thames. Notable for its striking circular bell turret, carved dragon door stops, and a beautifully carved Elizabethan pulpit made of salvaged bits of a 15th-century screen. Two fine late Norman doors and a 13th-century chancel arch add to the appeal of this beautiful country church.

Chisbury Chapel is a small late 13th-century chapel made of flint walls and topped with a thatched roof. It was built by the lord of Chisbury Manor as a chapel of ease so that local villagers and the manor household would not have to travel to Great Bedwyn parish church.

A Victorian church in a countryside setting, St Mary's was built in 1875 to a design by JL Pearson for Thomas Fowle of Chute Lodge. The church was intended to serve the new parish of Chute Forest, which was later combined with the parish of Chute, making St Mary's redundant.

One of the finest parish churches in Wiltshire, St Sampson's is a superb medieval building with a striking Perpendicular tower that rises high over this ancient Saxon town. There has been a church on this site since at least 890 AD - not surprising when you consider the age of Cricklade itself, which was a thriving town in the late Saxon era.
