St Mary's

Welcome to St Mary's, Odstock. We hold services on the first and third Sundays of the month, and we look forward to welcoming you to our Church.

This beautiful Grade II* listed building was first constructed in the 12th century. It comprises a three-bay nave, chancel, west tower and north porch. The chancel is believed to have been remodelled in the 13th century. The nave dates from the 13th century and the arch to the low west tower is of the 14th century. 

The pulpit carries the date 1580 and the inscription, “God bless and save our royal Queen, the lyke on earth was never seen”. The font at the west end of the nave is of the 13th century. Remodelling of the church was carried out in 1870 by J Fowler of Louth and included replacement of the pews and choir stalls.

A gravestone in the churchyard marks the burial place of Joshua Scamp, the gypsy whose fate is told in the story of the Odstock curse...

St. Mary’s Church baptism, marriage and burial registers survive from 1541. These (up to 1990/1991) are held at the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre in Chippenham. Subsequent registers remain with the church.
