Froxfield - Church and Chapel

Church and Chapel

The Church of England parish church of All Saints is 12th century and is built of flint and sarsen. The chancel was rebuilt in the 13th century with Early English Gothic lancet windows. In the 14th century new windows were inserted in the nave and a new north door was added. The Perpendicular Gothic west window is 15th century, as is the partly timber-framed porch.

In 1891-92 All Saints' was restored under the direction of the Gothic Revival architect Ewan Christian. His alterations included replacing the bell-turret with a more elaborate one, replacing a plain south window in the nave with an elaborate one in 15th century style and replacing the vestry with a larger vestry and organ chamber in the style of a north transept. It is a Grade II* listed building.

All Saints' is now part of a united benefice with Aldbourne, Axford, Baydon, Chilton Foliat and Ramsbury.

A Methodist congregation was established in Froxfield by 1834, when two houses in the village were licenced for Wesleyan Methodist worship. A small red-brick Primitive Methodist chapel was built on Brewhouse Hill in 1909. It closed for worship in about 1962.
