It lies near the Roman road from Winchester to Salisbury, and is thought by some to have been the site of the station Brigae. The parish contains the tything of Frenchmoor, and the chapelry of Pittleworth. The living is a rectory* in the diocese of Winchester, of the value with the perpetual curacy of Bossington attached, of £748, in the patronage of H. Lee, Esq. The church is dedicated to St. Mary. There are chapels belonging to the Independents, Wesleyans, and Baptists, and a free school endowed in 1601 by Thomas Dowse, the income of which is about £70 per annum.

You can also perform a more selective search for churches in the area that are recorded in the GENUKI church database. This will also help identify churches in nearby townships and/or parishes. You also have the option to see the location of the churches marked marked on a map.
If you keep this page loaded for a very long time and the database is updated since loading it, the church links above may become stale and may display the wrong church. If this happens, reloading this page will correct them.
