The Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 6, 1962) notes: "Of the two churches in medieval West Street one was dedicated to St. Nicholas, and the other to St. Mary. [...] The church of St. Mary was in the patronage of the Abbess of Wilton, and institutions were recorded from 1345 until 1420. In 1425 the church was returned as one of those in the diocese not served on account of its ruinous condition. [...] Ten years later, in 1435, and together with the church of St. Nicholas, it was united to St. John's Priory."
