Laverstock is a village and civil parish on the north-east and east outskirts of Salisbury in the ceremonial county of Wiltshire, England.

The parish is shaped like a figure 7 and incorporates Ford hamlet, the eastern half of the former manor of Milford, the area near the ancient settlement of Old Sarum, and part of the Hampton Park district on the edge of Salisbury.

Flint mines and signs of barrows have been discovered on Burrough's Hill, indicating settlement back to Neolithic time.

[4] Milford Mill Bridge, linking the parish with Salisbury over the Bourne, dates from the 14th century and is Grade I listed.

Laverstock House was a large and noted private licensed madhouse from the 18th to the 20th century, owned by the Finch family.

The use of tin compounds in the glaze was specific to Laverstock ware and, using modern techniques of analysis, their presence serves to distinguish these artefacts from items produced elsewhere.

Milford is bounded by the A36 road to the south and west, Laverstock to the north and the River Bourne to the east.

Laverstock is a suburban village on the eastern outskirts of Salisbury, 1.2 miles (2 km) east-northeast of the city centre.

Laverstock borders Milford to the south, Hampton Park to the north, and across the River Bourne to the west is St Mark's.

The area is bordered by Old Sarum to the north-west and Hampton Park to the south,[13] and is two miles north-north-east of Salisbury city centre.

[20] The Ordnance Survey map published in 1958 shows a small number of houses and a chapel on the left bank of the river, and farm buildings on the other side.

[21] In the later 20th and early 21st centuries, some of the farm buildings were replaced by a housing estate, bounded on the south by the straight lane which follows the route of the Roman road.

These contiguous residential areas have developed since the early 1990s[22] on the northeastern edge of Salisbury, north of Laverstock and south of Ford.

[23] The scheduled monument at Old Sarum – with many phases of use including a prehistoric hillfort, royal palace and medieval town with 11th-century cathedral[24] – lies within the city boundary, but the name has been adopted for more recent developments in the same area, in the north-west of Laverstock parish.

[3] In 1917 part of Ford Farm in the north of the parish was bought by the government to provide a site for the developing Royal Flying Corps.

The church was demolished and a new one, designed by TH Wyatt in knapped flint with ashlar quoins, was built in 1858 at a cost of £2,353.
