It is now a grade 1 listed magnificent building. The church of St. John the Baptist Church, Devizes is built of ashlar and has a chancel with north and south chapels, a crossing tower, transepts, an aisled nave, and north and south porches. The later-12th-century cruciform church was of considerable size and quality.

The oblong tower, more than 65 ft. high, was richly ornamented both inside and out.
