Before 1066 Wilsford was held by Brismar. In 1086 it passed to Alfric of Melksham, whilst Edward of Salisbury held it in mortgage. The vill was inherited by Matilda (or Maud) of Salisbury and her husband Humphrey I de Bohun. In 1229 Humphrey IV de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford, maintained his ownership over the manor against the claims of Ela Longspée of Salisbury.
The church was first mentioned in the early 12thc when it was claimed by the Abbey of St Wandrille de Fontenelle and the Bohun family, the lords of the manor. In 1142 it was confirmed to St Wandrille Abbey. In 1227 the church was appropriated by Richard Poore, Bishop of Salisbury, to the use of the Hospital of St Nicholas at Salisbury.
