This church was built on part of Dauntsey Park House Estate. The church is rather unusual in that the

church yard is only on two sides of the building, the other two sides adjoin the house gardens, and

with a rare Doom Board

The Church of St James The Great, Dauntsey is built on a site that has been used for worship for

over 1000 years. The interlinked history between the state, local gentry and the church is reflected

in the fabric of the building, revealing what was at times a stormy relationship. The Dauntsey doom

board is one of only five known painted tympana in the country hanging in their original, pre

reformation position.
