Listed Building record MDO45121 - Parish church, Wootton Fitzpaine

The parish church at Wootton Fitzpaine (dedication not known) is of flint rubble with freestone dressings, and is roofed in slate. It incorporates some 12th century re-used material, but mainly dates from the second half of the 13th century, with a chancel of the early 14th century.

In the 15th century the South Chapel with the South Transept were built and the South Porch added; the upper part of the Tower was perhaps built at the same period. The church was restored in 1872 when the North Transept was rebuilt and the Vestry added. <1>
