THE CHURCH Saint Laurence's Church Hilmarton is one of four churches in the benefice, sharing one Vicar. The others are Clyffe Pypard, Broad Town and Tockenham. The Church has a 12th Century arcade of three bays, a wagon type nave roof and a stone screen (visible in the photograph below). Some of the stained glass is by Clayton and Bell from around 1880. The tower was partly rebuilt and made taller in 1840 and the inside of the Church generally restored in 1879 -1881 by Street. The building is just off the main road from Lyneham to Calne on the approach to the village. The Church will be open to visitors every Wednesday afternoon from 2.00 pm to 3.30 pm from Wednesday 24th May to Wednesday 26th July inclusive. The tower with its pinnacles can be seen from the road from Lyneham and from Calne. The times of the services vary from week to week. Details can be seen on the ringer's page
