St Leonard's Church, Berwick St Leonard
St Leonard's Church, Berwick St Leonard

St Leonard's Church in Berwick St Leonard, Wiltshire, England, was built in the 12th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 22 June 1973, and was vested in the Trust on 9 June 1976.The manor was held in the 12th century by Shaftesbury Abbey's manor of Tisbury. At that time there was no right of burial at Berwick, and bodies were taken to Tisbury. The right of advowson was later held by a variety of individuals, and there was a dispute over the right between John Benett and John Maclntyre, an East India Company general during the early 19th century.The small church was built of flint and limestone, in the 12th century. The three bay nave is 33 feet 6 inches (10.21 m) by 16 feet 4 inches (4.98 m), while the chancel is just 18 feet 9 inches (5.72 m) long and 13 feet 3 inches (4.04 m) wide. The entrance is beneath the small two-stage south tower which was added in the 14th century, and is supported by diagonal buttresses. The tower holds two bells dating from 1725 and 1766. The church roof is tiled in a fish-scale pattern. Monuments inside the church include those to George Howe, who died in 1647, and his six children. The cylindrical stone font with a brass cover, the lintel over the blocked north doorway, and a sculptured relief of the Lamb of God over the inside of the south doorway date from the Norman era.By the 19th century the fabric of the building was decaying, and it was rebuilt in 1860 with little change to its external appearance, at the expense of Alfred Morrison of Fonthill Gifford. The church was closed in 1966.

Tytherington, Wiltshire

Tytherington is a small village in Wiltshire, in the southwest of England. It lies on the south side of the Wylye valley, about 3+1⁄2 miles (6 km) southeast of the town of Warminster and 1 mile (1.6 km) southwest of the larger village of Heytesbury. Most of the village is now part of the civil parish of Heytesbury although a few houses in the west are within the parish of Sutton Veny. John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-1872) said of Tytherington: TYTHERINGTON, a parish in Warminster district, Wilts; 1 mile S by W of Heytesbury r. station. Post town, Warminster. Acres, 1,650. Real property, £1,137. Pop., 111. Houses, 23. The living is a curacy in the diocese of Salisbury. Value, not reported – Patron, the Bishop of Salisbury. The small Anglican Church of St James is Grade II* listed. A church was founded here in the early 12th century but the present building is mainly from the 16th, and was restored in 1891 by C.E. Ponting. It has always been a chapel of St Peter and St Paul at Heytesbury; it has no graveyard. Today the parish is served by the Upper Wylye Valley team ministry.Manor Farmhouse, at the north entrance to the village, is a 4-bay 2-storey house from the early 18th century, extended and altered in the 19th. In the Sutton Veny part of the village, Ashbys (formerly Tytherington Farmhouse) carries a date of 1771; nearby are a dovecote dated 1810 and a granary and stable of similar date.Tytherington Down is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest.
