Norton

The Anglican Church of All Saints at Norton is Grade II listed.^[5] There was probably a church in the 13th century, which was rebuilt in the 15th and restored in 1854 for Joseph Neeld of Grittleton House.^[6] A font from the late 12th or early 13th century survives from the earlier church.^[7]

Today All Saints, together with the churches at Foxham and Bremilham, is part of the Gauzebrook group of churches.^[8]

Foxley

Foxley church

There was a church at Foxley in the 12th century or earlier, perhaps linked to Malmesbury Abbey.^[9] There was a rector by 1300. The small church, which has no dedication, is built of coursed rubble with some herringbone masonry. Thirteenth-century work survives in the north arcade and the font is from the same period.^[10]

The church was altered and re-roofed in the 15th century, and the tower built or rebuilt. In the 17th century the south aisle and north chapel were demolished, and around 1708 the south porch with stone pediment was added. A clock by Charles Frodsham & Co was installed in the tower in 1873.^[11] The interior of the church was renovated in the early 20th century; it was recorded as Grade I listed in 1959.^[10]

In 1874 the benefice was authorized to be united with Bremilham,^[12] and this became effective in 1893; by that time parishioners of Bremilham attended Foxley church.^[9] From 1951 the benefice of Foxley with Bremilham was held in plurality with that of Corston with Rodbourne.^[13]

Bremilham

The small church at Cowage Farm, Bremilham is the remainder or partial rebuilding of a 15th-century church, used for a time as a mortuary chapel.^[3]
