THE PARISH church of St John the Baptist in Inglesham features in a new leaflet brought out to mark the Jubilee which celebrates royal coats of arms.
Royal Arms began to appear in churches as a symbol of the monarch's authority after Henry VIII became head of the Church of England in 1534.
No two coats of arms are the same and they are usually carved on wood or stone or painted on plaster, canvas and cast iron.
To mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee the Churches Conservation Trust has launched a leaflet detailing where these historic features can be found.
Inglesham Church is open daily and described by the Trust as an "exquisitely beautiful and fascinating church".
As well as the Royal Arms it includes 15th century angels above the chancel arch and 13th century masonry patterns.
Other churches in Wiltshire where royal coats of arms can be viewed are St Peter in Everleigh, St Nicholas in Fisherton Delamere, St Mary in Old Dilton, St George in Orcheston and St Leonard Old Church in Sutton Veny.
Copies of the leaflet can be obtained for free by calling 0207 9362285.
