Winsley is a large village and civil parish about 2 miles (3 km) west of Bradford on Avon in Wiltshire, England.

The area was probably farmed in Roman times, as it lay between the town of Aquae Sulis (now Bath) and a villa complex at Bradford.

[6] Winsley Sanatorium was opened in 1905, just west of the village on the hilltop site of a former quarry as fresh air was desired for treatment of tuberculosis and similar illnesses.

After the school closed in 1992 the site was bought by the Dorothy House charity, which provides at-home medical care and a hospice for people with chronic or life-limiting illnesses.

[12][2] The charity covers the Bath and Keynsham areas, east Somerset and parts of north and west Wiltshire.

[20] Bus service D1 passes through the village, with a regular timetable throughout the day serving Bath, Trowbridge and Warminster.

Murhill Bank (John Presland Nature Reserve), on the western edge of the village, is a steeply sloping area of woodland with a one-acre unimproved (never farmed) meadow.

Harvey of Bradford and the Winsley chapelwarden, James Baber, owner of Murhill stone quarry and other local properties.

[23] They engaged Bristol architect R. S. Pope who designed an aisle-less nave and chancel in Gothic style; the 15th-century tower was retained, linked by a short passage to the southwest corner of the new church.

[27][3] In 1846 the chapelries of Winsley and Limpley Stoke were united to form a parish,[3] at first a perpetual curacy, then from 1868 deemed to be a vicarage.
