Description

Woodford is a civil parish about 4 miles N of Salisbury on the W bank of the River Avon. The church is situated by the river in the village of Middle Woodford. Consisting of a chancel, aisled nave and W tower, it was largely rebuilt by T H Wyatt in 1845, retaining the 15thc tower and S arcade. The S doorway is the building's earliest element and bears its only Romanesque sculpture.

History

Domesday Book does not mention the vill: it was almost certainly part of the manor of Salisbury and thus held by the Bishop of Salisbury.
