The Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 11, 1980) notes: "As parts of its masonry show a church was standing at Nunton c. 1200. It was annexed to Downton church as a chapel, probably from its foundation [...] The chancel arch is of c. 1200 and suggests that there was a small church of that date to which a south aisle and south chapel were added in the earlier 13th century [...] The registers are complete form 1672. [...] The church was restored 1854–5"; there is no mention of a font in this church in theVCH entry. [NB: we have no information on its medieval font].
