The beautifully carved limes oak pulpit, made after 1891, in Holy Cross, Ramsbury. The church of the Holy Cross, Ramsbury. Within the present church fabric there is evidence for a large and elaborate church on this site before 900 AD, when Ramsbury was the see of a Saxon bishop. The oldest part of the current church is the long 13th century chancel. Aisles were added to the nave in the late 13th, then the west end was largely rebuilt and the aisles widened in the 14th century. The present tower was also built in the 14th century. The Lady Chapel was added by 1405. The clerestory was built in the early 16th century and a new, and lower, pitched roof replaced the earlier nave roof. The church was in poor repair for much of its history and was extensively restored in 1890-3.

Some sources claim this font is Saxon, others C12 (which seems more plausible to me). Whatever its provenance, it was moved from the grounds of the manor back into the Church of Holy Cross, Ramsbury, in 1842 and its base was carved by a Thomas Meyrick.
