* Dissolution: Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539, the Abbey and estate were acquired by Sir John Tregonwell, a lawyer for Henry VIII. The Abbey church was allowed to become the parish church. * 18th Century Changes: In the late 18th century, Joseph Damer, Lord Milton (later Earl of Dorchester), decided the nearby market town of Milton (or Middleton) disturbed his ideal of rural peace. He had the entire town demolished and created the planned village of Milton Abbas. He also commissioned the landscape gardener Capability Brown to design the parkland around a new mansion he built on the site of the old Abbey buildings, keeping only part of the church. * Restoration: The church was restored around 1790 by James Wyatt and again in 1865 by Sir George Gilbert Scott.

The first church on the site was founded around 934 AD by the Saxon King Athelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great. It is said he had a vision of defeating the Danes while camping nearby and built the church in gratitude. * Benedictine Abbey: About thirty years later, King Edgar established a Benedictine monastery there. * Fire and Rebuilding: A fire caused by lightning destroyed the Norman church in 1309. The current Abbey Church of Saint Mary, Saint Sansom and Saint Branwalader largely dates from the 14th century, with some 15th-century additions like the north transept and tower extension. The nave as originally planned was never built.

The chapel dates back to the late Norman period, around 1190, making it the oldest building within the Milton Abbas complex. It was built by the monks of Milton Abbey as a pilgrim chapel.

notable for being one of the first planned settlements in England. In the 1770s, the owner of Milton Abbey, Joseph Damer (later Lord Milton and Earl of Dorchester), decided the original village of Middleton was spoiling his view and commissioned architect Sir William Chambers and landscape gardener Capability Brown to design a new village in a nearby wooded valley. The old village was demolished, and most of its residents were relocated to this new model village, now known as Milton Abbas. The village is characterized by its single, sinuous main street lined with 36 almost identical whitewashed and thatched cottages. These were originally designed to house two families each.

The church was built in 1786. This was during the creation of the new village of Milton Abbas by Joseph Damer, the Earl of Dorchester. He had the original market town of Milton (or Middleton), which was too close to his mansion (now Milton Abbey School), demolished and a new model village constructed to house his estate workers. * Replacing an Older Church: There was an earlier St James' Church serving the parish before the new village was built. Its exact location is uncertain, though some speculate it might have been near the south door of Milton Abbey. Registers of this earlier church date back to 1650. * Materials from the Abbey: It is believed that some of the materials used to build St James' Church came from the demolished abbey barn. * Victorian Enhancements: In 1886, the church underwent significant alterations. The chancel was enlarged, the chancel and tower arches were rebuilt, and a south aisle was added.
