The unusual dedication of the parish church in Doulting remembers Aldhelm, a monk, poet and scholar who served as the first Abbot of Malmesbury, and also Bishop of Sherborne from 705, who died in the church at Doulting in 709 whilst journeying through his diocese. The present building does not, of course, date back to that era – its origins lie in the 12th c., with many later changes, but the whole church was comprehensively rebuilt by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1869, largely replicating what previously existed, using much original material, but also incorporating some new features. Nevertheless, the quality of the work is such that the building has been Grade I listed since 1961.
