The Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 6, 1962) notes: "Of the two churches in medieval West Street one was dedicated to St. Nicholas [...] Institutions to the church of St. Nicholas were recorded up to 1393, but by 1435 the church was ruinous, and in that year was united to St. John's Priory." [NB: we have no information on its medieval font].
