Coombe Bissett

Coombe Bissett is a village and civil parish in the English county of Wiltshire in the River Ebble valley, 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Salisbury on the A354 road that goes south towards Blandford Forum.

The Domesday Book in 1086 divided the Chalke Valley into eight manors: Chelke (Chalke – Bowerchalke and Broadchalke), Eblesborne (Ebbesbourne Wake), Fifehide (Fifield Bavant), Cumbe (Coombe Bissett), Humitone (Homington), Odestoche (Odstock), Stradford (Stratford Tony and Bishopstone) and Trow (circa Alvediston).

[5] Coombe Bissett and Homington were separate parishes, each with its own church, until they were united in a joint benefice in 1885.

[13] Coombe Bissett has a pub, the Fox and Goose, a village hall, and a shop with a post office.

[14] Homington and Coombe Bissett Downs is a nature reserve on nearby chalk downland.
