Abbey Church of St. Edith, Wilton

Originally a Saxon wooden church that was rebuilt in stone by Queen Edith, wife of Edward the Confessor, in 1065. Little is known of the development of the church although it was doubtless enlarged on several occasions. From the measurements of a 15th century traveller it has been estimated that the nave was slightly larger than that of the abbey church at Malmesbury and so it must have been an impressive structure.
