Chirton is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, on the southern edge of the Vale of Pewsey about 5 miles (8 km) south-east of Devizes.

Early in the 12th century an estate at Chirton was granted to the recently established Lanthony Priory, Gloucester, who retained it until the Dissolution.

A descendant sold it in 1671 to Ralph Brideoake, dean of Salisbury, who presumably made the purchase on behalf of the almshouses at Heytesbury, whose charity owned it until the early 20th century.

[4] When the Stert and Westbury Railway was opened through the Vale in 1900, the nearest station was near Patney, 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Chirton village.

The manor recorded in Domesday Book was held by Robert, Count of Mortain (half-brother of William the Conqueror) and tenanted by Grestain Abbey, Normandy.

In 1324 the land was seized by the king, along with other alien priories, and it was acquired in the 1350s by Michael de la Pole (later Lord Chancellor and Earl of Suffolk), and his brothers Edmund and Thomas.

[10] The pulpit and pews are by Butterfield,[9] and much of the stained glass is from the same 1850 restoration, including chancel windows by William Wailes.

[18] It is in the area of Wiltshire Council, a unitary authority responsible for almost all local government functions, and is represented there by Paul Oatway.

[19] The vicarage house mentioned at Chirton in 1609 is probably the present-day Yew Tree Cottage, which has 17th-century timber frames and 19th-century additions.

[20] It was replaced by a three-bay brick house close to the church, built c.1800 and extended at the rear to designs of J. P. Seddon in 1878.

[4] The west entrance front has five bays, the central one brought forward and pedimented, above a semicircular porch described as "elegant" by Orbach.

The porch has fluted Ionic columns, and at each end of the facade are two-storey pilasters in the same style; these are repeated in pairs on the fronts of Ingleman's wings.

A 110-acre (43 ha) area, encompassing the whole of Conock hamlet, was designated Grade II on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens in 1987.
