[1] In the Domesday survey in 1086, Corstone was recorded as part of the Brokenborough estate held by Malmesbury Abbey, and there were approximately 54 households.

[3] The abbey's lands passed to the Crown at the Dissolution and in 1573 the estate was bought by Sir Walter Hungerford.

In 1685 it passed from the Hungerfords to Robert Sutton, 2nd Baron Lexinton and later to the Earls of Radnor.

[5] The present building has a 15th-century bell-turret with a short spire – described by Pevsner as "impressive"[6] – but the rest was rebuilt in 1881 in coursed rubble with stone dressings; the chancel is from 1911.

[9] The village is served by the Coachstyle 99 bus route, which runs once an hour between Chippenham, Malmesbury and Swindon.
