Norman/Romanesque Abbey - now the parish church. Founded by St Aldhelm in Saxon times. Pavise/treasury containing c1407 manuscript bible and other books, and historical exhibits. Outstanding south porch with its magnificent Norman arch containing carvings depicting Bible stories. . Burial place of King Athelstan (c895-940), the first king of all England. Situated in an attractive and historic hilltop country town.
