The Rev. Robert Byng made various improvements in the first part of the 17th century, when the 15th century font was provided with a cover (1633) and the nave roof rebuilt (1638). In the later 17th century the chancel was restored or rebuilt; this was possibly in 1678. A restoration of 1843 saw extensive alterations with the renewal of the nave roof, the removal of the west gallery, and new open pews to replace the old box ones. In 1867 the chancel was rebuilt on a slightly narrower plan, 39 feet long but only 14 feet 6 inches wide, in the style of the mid 13th century. The architect was Henry Weaver of Devizes and an elaborate interior was provided. In the same year a pulpit was erected as a memorial to the long incumbancy of the Rev. Methuen who served the parish for 60 years.
There were three bells in 1553 and five by the 20th century; these were recast and rehung in 1929. There are six scratch dials on the exterior south wall, once used to determine the correct time for services. The parish registers from 1578, other than those in current use, are held in the Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office.
