BISHOPSTONE VILLAGE
(The bubbling River Ebble)
Situated in the beautiful valley of the River Ebble (or Chalke Valley), 5 miles south-west of Salisbury in Wiltshire, the village of Bishopstone can date its history back to the 12th century when it is first recorded as the parish of Bissopeston in 1166. The Church of St John the Baptist was built at about this time,
Bishopstone consists of 6 hamlets, Croucheston, Faulston, Netton, Flamstone, Throope and Bishopstone. See the village History page for more detail.
The bubbling River Ebble runs through the village, dividing into smaller streams through lakes, former watercress beds, around islands and through old mills before becoming one again as it leaves the village.
Bishopstone has an active, eclectic and vibrant community that hosts many activities all year round. Take a look at the Village Hall calendar on this website and do join us. You will always receive a warm welcome.
