Charlton St Peter and Wilsford Joint Parish Council is a grouped parish council serving the adjacent civil parishes of Charlton St Peter and Wilsford, in the Vale of Pewsey in the English county of Wiltshire. Charlton and Wilsford elect a single parish council since their populations are small; in 2021, Wilsford had 66 electors and Charlton approximately 132. Wilsford elects two parish councillors, and Charlton five. The parishes fall within the area of the Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for most significant local government functions. When the joint parish council was formed, sometime before 2011, it was called Charlton and Wilsford Parish Council. During consultation for a community governance review in 2021–2022 it was proposed that St Peter should be added to the name, to reflect local usage and make a distinction from the Charlton parish in north Wiltshire. Accordingly, in May 2022, Wiltshire Council formally amended the name of the parish council to Charlton St Peter and Wilsford Joint Parish Council.

Upavon Priory was a small priory in Wiltshire, England. Domesday Book in 1086 recorded land at Upavon held by the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Wandrille, Normandy. A priory was probably established in the 12th century, and in the 13th the church became a prebend of Salisbury. A valuation in 1324 found livestock, two horses, two beds, three tables and sparse chapel fittings. Around this time the nearby church at Charlton St Peter had been appropriated to the priory.Monks of alien priories were expelled from England in 1378, and the priory became a farm. In 1423 Upavon Priory was granted to the Augustinian canons of Ivychurch Priory, south-east of Salisbury, who held it until the Dissolution.There are intermittent records of priors of Upavon between 1262 and 1361. The last remaining building, a barn on a site between the church and the River Avon, was demolished in the early 1820s.

Casterley Camp is the site of an Iron Age univallate hillfort in Wiltshire, England, about 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) south-west of the village of Upavon.

Three apparently related enclosures are identified within the site of Casterley Camp. Stock control and religious functions have been attributed to the enclosures. There is also an Iron Age/Romano-British trackway on the west side of the site, with traces of earth banks on both sides. The site is a scheduled monument.There are public footpaths and bridleways to the north and west of the site. Since 1898, land immediately west and south has been part of the Salisbury Plain firing ranges.
