St John the Evangelist (formerly)
Parish church
The church lies beautifully in a Wolds valley below its hamlet. The church looks down the stream to a large pond, a ribbon of planting and sensitively-farmed fields.
Nave and chancel in one, bellcote. Rebuilt on old plan using historic materials by W. H. Dykes (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 445). A plan in Borthwick Faculty 1885/21 shows fairly thin walls except at the chancel arch. The church is just over 14m long.
Parish church
Bulford is a village about two miles N of Amesbury. The church lies on the E bank of the River Avon and lies to the W of the village and is of flint rubble with stone dressings. The structure consists of a chancel and a nave with N transept, and a S porch above which is a tower. The nave and the chancel date originally from the 12thc, although the only carved detail is found on the simple imposts of the chancel arch. The central tower was added in the 13thc. Various alterations were made in the 14th and 16thc. Restoration between 1902-1911 was carried out by Charles Edwin Ponting.
