Stourhead Church
The medieval church of St Peter stands immediately outside Stourhead Gardens, looking out over the neo-classical 18th-century landscape designed by Sir Henry Hoare II. The earliest record of a church here dates from 1291, and it seems likely that the north nave arcade and tower date from that time. The lords of the manor were the Stourton family, and their family vault is under the present north aisle.
