"This beautiful church was consecrated by the Bishop of Salisbury on 24 September, 1861 as a chapel of ease to the mother church of Great Bedwyn. It was dedicated to St. Katharine by Maria Caroline, Marchioness of Ailesbury in memory of her Russian mother, Katharine Woronzoff, Dowager Countess of Pembroke. This devout and generous lady, who died in 1856, left a liberal sum for the construction of the church on her son-in-law's estate. He, in his turn, donated a fine peal of bells and, a few years later, built the nearby church school."
