Easy to park - small layby right outside the church. Up the steps and walk around the outside of the church to the right. The stones embedded into the buttresses of the church are to be found around the back. Have you noticed how you get some strange looks from locals when studying old stones on the outside of churches?!!

The back wall of Pewsey church sits on what appear to be worked, megalithic, stones.

There is a local story of a destroyed stone circle at Pewsey and it may be that these stones, along with the standing stones by the riverside, may be its remains.
