The [[Church of St Mary and St Melor, Amesbury|church of St Mary and St Melor]], the town's [[parish church]], is [[Listed building|Grade I listed]].<ref>{{National Heritage List for England entry|num=1182066|desc=Church of St Mary and St Melor, Amesbury|access-date=30 August 2015}}</ref> Its nave is from the early 12th century and much of the rest is 13th-century. The large size of the building may reflect Amesbury's early royal connections, or a link to [[Amesbury Abbey]]; it is thought that the abbey had its own church until its dissolution in the 16th century, but no evidence of that church survives above ground.<ref name="wch-church">{{cite web|website=Wiltshire Community History|title=Church of St. Mary and St. Melor, Amesbury|url=https://apps.wiltshire.gov.uk/communityhistory/Church/Details/583|publisher=Wiltshire Council|access-date=30 August 2015}}</ref>
