Fonthill Bishop is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, to the north of the Nadder valley and 9 miles (14 km) south of Warminster.
The village developed along a north–south street, bisected by the west–east road from West Knoyle and Hindon to Wilton and Salisbury (now the B3089).
This entrance to Fonthill Park was probably built c. 1756 to designs of John Vardy; long decorative walls, with urn finials, were added on both sides of the road c. 1860.
[10] The parish is within the area of the Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for almost all significant local government functions.
[11] By the gift of S. Gattrell, a charity school known as Gattrell's School was established at Fonthill Bishop in 1787 which provided for sixteen poor children of the parish to be taught reading and writing, the catechism of the Church of England, and needlework, free of charge.
