St Michael's church was originally a chapel-of-ease for Great Bedwyn, and served the community which had moved down into the valley from the iron-age fort at Chisbury (which has its own near-ruined chapel, St Martin's). The small community straddles the railway and canal. Of particular interest in the church are the differently shaped arches on either side of the nave, and the collection of hand-stitched kneelers. The rear of the church, which also doubles as the village hall, has a map of the parish made for the millennium, with paintings of every building and all the wildlife found in the parish.

This "Victorian gem" of a church serves a scattered community in Savernake Forest. It was built in 1861 by the Marchioness of Ailesbury in memory of her mother, to serve the family estate and their household in Tottenham House. The church was severely damaged in an accidental explosion at the end of the Second World War, and was restored to use in 1952 by sealing in the arches of the north aisle, which is now a pleasant meeting room.
