The Victoria County History (Wiltshire, vol. 16, 1999) notes: "Chute Forest church was built in 1870-1. (fn. 33) In 1875 it was consecrated [...] the reredos, pulpit, and font are of stone [...] Chute Forest church was closed in 1972, and in 1974 it passed to the care of the Redundant Churches Fund, later the Churches Conservation Trust." The modern font consists of an octagonal basin raised on clustered columns. [NB: to our knowledge, there was no earlier church here].
