Bishopstrow

Bishopstrow is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, on the southeastern edge of the town of Warminster.

[4] Ela, Countess of Salisbury gave Bishopstrow manor in 1236 to the nunnery at Lacock, which she had recently founded.

In 1817 William Temple built a new house on the north side of the road using the Bath architect John Pinch the elder, which has been operated as a hotel and restaurant since 1977.

The present Bishopstrow Mill, which was in operation until 1969,[6] has three storeys plus attic, in red brick and rubble stone, and was mostly rebuilt after a fire in 1873.

The village is represented in parliament by Andrew Murrison,[10] and in Wiltshire Council by Christopher Newbury, both Conservatives.

[3] The present church dates from the 14th century although only the slender west tower, with recessed spire, remains from that time.
