Bishopstone is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, in the Ebble valley about 5.5 miles (9 km) south-west of Salisbury.

There was a bowl barrow near Croucheston Down Farm[2] and Grim's Ditch, a prehistoric earthwork, forms the southern boundary of the parish.

To the north of the river these were Bishopstone (with the parish church), Netton and Flamston; to the south, Throope, Faulston and Croucheston.

[12] After Isabel's death in 1573, the manor was inherited by a younger son Henry, who sat for several Wiltshire constituencies but "without leaving any mark on the known proceedings of the House".

[10] Arbella Stuart stayed for over a month from the end of October 1603, as the royal court moved from Winchester to Salisbury and Wilton.

[14] The manor passed to his younger son George (knighted 1643), who commanded a regiment of Royalist cavalry at the Battle of Lansdowne.

[15] In 1649 the house's fortifications were ordered to be destroyed,[10] and Sir George sold the manor in that year to the earl of Pembroke.

[16] The rectory, now called Bishopstone House, was built in yellow brick around 1820 to designs of Bath architect John Lowder; it was sold into private use in the 1950s.

The main dwelling is Throope Manor, built in the early 18th century for the Button family and extended in 1935 for Lord Essex.

[6] The White Hart pub, beside the road from Coombe Bissett to Broad Chalke, was a public house in 1792 but the present building is from the 19th century.

[27] A tall dovecote from the early 17th century, in flint with dressed limestone bands under a conical tiled roof, is Grade II* listed;[28] it may have been part of the fortifications of the earlier house.

[6][31] Julian Orbach, extending Nikolaus Pevsner's work in the Buildings of England series, describes the church as big and impressive.

By the south transept, a small stone structure of two vaulted bays, buttressed and open on three sides, shelters a 13th-century decorated tomb chest, perhaps moved from elsewhere.

[32] The priest's door on the south side of the chancel has a deep vaulted hood with an ogee gable and crocket parapet.

[16] The east window of 1898 is by Powell and Sons, paid for by a bequest of George Augustus Montgomery, rector from 1821[31] until his accidental death in 1842.

At one time, above this was a window designed by Pugin and executed by William Wailes; this has since been replaced by clear glass with re-set medieval pieces.

[31] Notable holders of the living, as rector and/or vicar, include:[6] A Primitive Methodist chapel was opened in 1833 at Croucheston and continued in use until 1978.
