THE buried heart of a vicar; a gravestone of three children paid for by the generosity of people around Europe; a visible sign in the stonework of five centuries of prayer – and an ancient toilet site.

These and other discoveries are to be found at St James’ the Less Church in Foxcote, which sits alongside the parish of Shoscombe, and dates from the 12th century.

A new series of QR code videos – a collaboration between the parish, broadcaster Martin Palmer and Nicholas Brown, director of the King’s film about the environment to be released in 2026 – makes these stories accessible for the first time to everyone.

The tour can be undertaken in two ways; a personal visit to scan QR codes, or online: www.stjsgroup.church/take-a-virtual-tour-of-st-james-the-less-with-martin-palmer
