Durrington All Saints

 

The Parish

The parish of Durrington sits in eastern Wiltshire close to the border with neighbouring Hampshire. The village lies in the valley of the River Avon about 2 miles north of the market town of Amesbury where the A345 road which links Amesbury with Pewsey crosses the A3028. Durrington has been extended greatly in recent times as it borders the military ranges of Larkhill and many military personnel use the village as base. The original village grew up on a lane running east from the A345 along a broad meander of the River Avon. The village centre lies at about 80 metres above sea level but land rises to the west to twice that height on the broad flanks of Salisbury Plain. The parish was largely pastoral in the past with cattle in the valley bottom and sheep on the chalk grasslands of the plain. The parish was of average size covering a little over 2,500 acres and supported just short of 500 parishioners. In Domesday times Durrington was obviously a small settlement in the difficult soils it only supported 2 ploughs.


The Church

All Saints church sits alongside the main lane of the village on its southern side. The church is a Victorian rebuild of the ancient mediaeval church and Pevsner views it as having little of architectural interest except for the portions of the old building which have been preserved and reused. The previous building was clearly an early church as some Norman features have been retained as well as the ubiquitous Perpendicular windows. All Saints church sits on a raised site above the lane and is accessed up a short flight of curving steps, the graveyard is well endowed with mature trees and is a peaceful spot.
