If you look at the links you will see that some buidings date back into the 16th century.

The parish church in Calne (in church street) dates from the 1400's I think and maybe sited on an earlier building. Some churches in England are 1000 years old.

12th Century actually and yes built on an earlier saxon church !

If you go inside .... go to the middle of the church and look back over the main doorway you came in. There is a small section of the original saxon church there , just above the doorway !.

The church originally had a spire too !!!!!!!!!!!!! a very big one as well !!!!!!!!!!!!.
