Writing in 1931, Victor Strode Manley, as part of his Regional Survey Of Warminster And District, made the following notes about the church at Sherrington:
Ecclesiastical Parish – Sherrington with Boyton St. Mary, and Saints Cosmas & Damian (Sherrington), part of. Church of St. Michael and All Angels: formerly SS. Cosmas & Damian. Patron of Living – H.N. Fane.
The Church was originally dedicated in 1553 to Saints Cosmas & Damian, two brothers born in Arabia and educated in the Christian faith. They were physicians and surgeons, and whose patron saints they are, and after working in Cilicia, were beheaded during the persecutions of Diocletian in 303. Their bones were taken to Rome where a church was dedicated to them. Their festival falls on 27th September.
The foundation date I do not know, but it is partly E.E. [Early English] and early Decorated. It “was rebuilt in 1624, when the windows, chancel arch, priest’s door, etc., of late 14th century work were preserved, and built into the new walls. The two-light windows of the nave, roof, altar rails and fine oak benches are of 1624 date. The pulpit, prayer desk and lectern are made up of Jacobean woodwork” – (Wiltshire Archaeological Society, programme, Warminster 1921 and History Of Warminster page 124; also Heath’s “Wiltshire”). The inside walls are covered with painted scroll-work around monuments but now whitened over. On the porch is a coat of arms.
