If your jaw doesn't drop when you see Wilton's Italianate parish church for the first time, I strongly suspect that you've got a serious case of lockjaw and should seek immediate medical attention! In a historic Wiltshire town like Wilton, home of one of England's great stately homes, Wilton House, and traditional centre for English carpet manufacture, you don't expect to see an ornate slice of Italy.

The village of Wilton is best known for its history as a centre of carpet manufacture and the location of Wilton House, one of the finest stately homes in England. There is another historical feature that deserves a mention, however, and that is the old medieval church of St Mary's, which stands in the Market Place.
