In Christ Church, Warminster, The First 150 Years, a booklet published in October 1980, to celebrate the 150th birthday of Christ Church, the Rev. John C. Day (Vicar) wrote:
The Church Plate
The ancient churches of England lost all or much of their old Communion plate at the Reformation, when the agents of King Henry VIII took most of the valuable heirlooms of the church for the crown.
Christ Church, while not on existence in those troublous times, does have some interesting pieces of old silver. Notable are a Georgian silver gilt Porringer and a silver dish inscribed with the words ‘Robert Moody, Esq., presented to Christ Church on his decease, Oct. 1830.’ Another beautifully chased silver dish which had originally been given to the Rev. R.R. and Mrs. Hutton on their departure from the parish in 1866, was returned for the use of the church after their deaths.
The Church has two large silver chalices, the earlier given by the Rev. W. Walsh on the opening of the church in 1831 and the other dating from 1918 and given in memory of Hannah Greenland.
Several other pieces have been given over the years, the latest being a silver ciborium in memory of Stanley Woodman who for several years was a churchwarden here.
