Spetisbury is an ancient settlement and has a neolithic ring fort to prove the point. It was here that members of the Durotriges tribe put up a spirited, if hopeless, defence against the invading Roman Legions at about the same time as Christ walked the shores of Galilee. It is a village that has suffered grievously from the arrival of the motor car and the A350 road that sweeps past this peaceful little church practically never ceases to carry traffic. There has undoubtedly been a church on this site for a very long time, but the earliest elements evident today are part of the early 13c north arcade, the tower, with six bells, of around 1500 and a table tomb dated at 1591. The rest is the result of the 1859 restoration by T H Wyatt. Nevertheless, the barrel roof of the chancel is both important and attractive. The south window, described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as "anaemically sentimental" is by A K Nicholson and is the sole example of his work in the County. Outside, opposite the porch, is a trihedron or three-sided white ashlar pyramid, which serves as a memorial to the Rev Thomas Rackett and his wife.
