Winterslow

Winterslow is a civil parish with a population of around 2,000, about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of Salisbury in Wiltshire, England, and lying south of the A30 London Road.

[4][5] The three settlements (today's West, Middle and East Winterslow) are recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as Wintreslei,[6] meaning "Winter's mound or burial place".

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

This ward starts on the outskirts of Salisbury in the south west and stretches in a northeasterly direction to Winterslow.

[11] It has a small chancel, an aisled nave which was doubled in length by Wyatt,[12] and a south porch with two-stage tower above, capped with a pyramidal tiled roof.

Surviving 12th-century features are the east part of the nave the south aisle, as well as the simple tub font.

[17] A brick and flint chapel of ease dedicated to St John the Baptist was opened at The Common in 1860,[18] and is also part of the Clarendon group.

[27] The two-storey house in limestone ashlar at first had a four-bay front but three bays were added at the left side; the entrance has a tetrastyle Tuscan portico.

[33][34] Since 2005 the Roche Court Educational Trust, a charity,[35] promotes appreciation of sculpture and other arts among young people through visits to the park and by outreach.

[36] Kings Farm at West Winterslow is a largely complete example of a cruck-frame open-hall house, built in 1460 and later altered and extended.

[37][38] From at least 1955, Roche Court was the residence of Sir Geoffrey Ronald Codrington, a retired colonel in the Territorial Army.

A housing development at Middle Winterslow was proposed in 2011[47] and met with objections from some residents,[48] leading to part of the site – the 7.5 acre Brown's Copse – gaining protection in 2015 through classification as a village green.
