The last of several churches featured on this route.
Church Guide
The church dates from the 12th century and has always been associated with, and was for a long time linked to, the Benedictine Priory close by. The remains of the priory buildings are now part of a private house.
Outside, the great Yew tree by the porch is said to be 1,600 years old. The church itself has a Norman chancel; the monks would have used the latter (the parishioners restricted to the nave), which still preserves its Norman lancets and low ledges for seating the monks: originally, the floor would have been lower, so making the seating more practical.
The north transept chapel was added early in the 13th century, with the two-bay south aisle following slightly later. This was later partially blocked, but reopened during Victorian restoration. The chancel arch is also a 19th century replacement in the 13th century style.
A light engine move slows to a stop at CP Wilmington so its conductor can line the switch and wye the power before heading back to Dolores to pick up its train.

The best place to walk to the Long Man of Wilmington is from the free car park next to the old Priory. There is also a small picnic area with fine views of the Long Man.
This view is from the bottom of the downs and looking back towards the remains of the old Benedictine Priory which can be glimpsed just left of centre. Much of the present building dates from the 14th century and as few as two or three monks dwelled there. It is now in the hands of the Landmark Trust and can be used for holiday lets (not being open to the public) for the equivalent of £20 pp per night www.landmarktrust.org.uk/search-and-book/properties/wilmi... . Not a bad place to base yourself and I wouldn't mind that lovely farm house to the right but I'd let someone else do the farming!
