Erlestoke is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, on the northern edge of Salisbury Plain.

Newly built estate cottages incorporated pieces of sculpture and architectural fragments from the earlier manor house; an example is Tilted Lodge, c. 1800.

In the 1930s, the War Office purchased 1,235 acres (500 ha)[3] of land in the parish, for accommodation for personnel undergoing training in the area.

[12] The Army's Senior Officer's School moved into Erlestoke House in 1939, and continued in the wings after the central part was seriously damaged by a fire in 1950.

[19] Brian Jones, a balloonist who completed the first non-stop flight around the world in 1999, lived in the village around that time.

[20] The composer Peter Seabourne lived at Brouncker's Court Farm in Erlestoke from 1961 to 1989,[21] studying at Clare College, Cambridge (1980–83) with Robin Holloway.

The composer Anthony Scott (pupil of Gerald Finzi and Ralph Vaughan Williams)[22] also lived in the village in the late 1980s, as did the comedians Lenny Henry and Dawn French.
