Sutton Mandeville

Sutton Mandeville is a small village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, in the Nadder valley and towards the east end of the Vale of Wardour.

[2] The Apshill area, south of the river on the road from Sutton Row to Lower Chicksgrove, was also part of the transfer from Tisbury parish.

[5] No prehistoric sites are recorded in the area, although an Iron Age hillfort known as Castle Ditches lies to the west in Tisbury parish.

During the First World War, in the fields to the south of the village across to Sutton Down thousands of British and Australian soldiers were encamped in temporary wooden huts, undergoing training and preparation for the battlefields of France and Belgium.

[15] The parish church dedicated to All Saints, built in uncoursed dressed limestone, dates from the 13th century; the chancel arch is from that period.

This is consulted on all parish matters, while most significant local government functions are carried out by Wiltshire Council, a unitary authority.
