St Mary's Stoughton

There are stones in the church which were here when the Saxons were fighting the Danes in nearby Kingley Vale; the chancel arch is either one of the last arches built by the Saxons or one of the first by the Normans. The doorways are 13th century and the tower 14th, and there is a 12th-century window in each transept with pointed arches and well-carved capitals. There is a peal of five bells. A sundial has been added on the Southern wall to mark the millennium.

Services are held here most Sundays, but Compton and Stoughton take it in turns on the first Sunday of each month.
