Holy Cross
Ramsbury, Wiltshire
Ramsbury was the seat of the Bishops of Wiltshire from 909 to 1058 from which period fragments of crosses remain.
There is evidence that a Norman church was built in the 12th century and in the reign of Henry III (1215-72) the church was completely rebuilt possibly following fire. In 1865 a major restoration was begun which was dedicated by the Bishop of Salisbury in 1867.
More recently, the chancel was reordered in the late 1980’s when the altar was moved from the east end and the church redecorated throughout.
