St John the Baptist church was originally the church of a nunnery founded before 1237. The style of the current building is late 13th century. Some restoration work was carried out in 1863 by Sir George Gilbert Scott.[1]
According to a Fortean Times article, a phantom monk was once exorcised into a bottle, which is now buried in the wall of the church.[2]
On nearby Aconbury Hill is an Iron Age hillfort, Aconbury Camp.
