Great Cheverell is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Devizes.

The parish includes Great Cheverell Hill, a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest consisting of unimproved species-rich chalk grassland on the northern edge of Salisbury Plain.

[3] Small streams meet in the northeast corner of the parish to form a tributary of the Semington Brook.

There was a station called Lavington, just beyond the east boundary of the parish, about one mile by road from Great Cheverell village.

[10] The parish registers, now held at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, cover the years 1653-1987 (baptisms), 1654-1994 (marriages), and 1654-1987 (burials).

[12][3] Under the Will of J. Townsend, a charity school was established at Great Cheverell in 1725 which provided for six poor children of the parish to be taught reading and the principles of the Church of England, free of charge.

[13][14] A new two-room school for 50-60 pupils was built in 1844 on a High Street plot provided by the rector, R. M. Atkinson, with assistance from the Townsend charity for running costs.

It is in the area of the Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for most significant local government functions.
