  • 1 HILL DEVERILL – DRAFT TEXT by Virginia Bainbridge, John Chandler
    HILL DEVERILL – DRAFT TEXT By Virginia Bainbridge, John Chandler, Alex Craven and Dorothy Treasure The ancient parish of Hill Deverill included the detached tithing of Baycliffe which lay 5.5 km. west of Hill Deverill village.1 In 1884 Baycliffe (c. 200 a.)2 was absorbed into Horningsham parish, and in 1934 Hill Deverill itself (1,548 a.)3 was absorbed into Longbridge Deverill parish.4 The village of Hill Deverill straddles the River Wylye 5 km. south of Warminster. The parish was rarely more than 1 km. wide and extended from east to west across the upper Wylye, or Deverill, valley up onto the high chalk downs on each side. Apart from Baycliffe farm and Rye Hill farm in the west of the former parish, all medieval and later settlement has been in the river valley, where the manor house, former church, mill and village earthworks sit alongside cottages, watercress beds and some 20th-century housing. The parish may have acquired the name Hulle, or Hill, Deverill from its prominent western landmark, Bidcombe Hill.5 Boundaries Hill Deverill shared its entire southern boundary with Brixton Deverill, most of its northern boundary with Longbridge Deverill, shorter sections with Sutton Veny and Horningsham, and its western boundary with Maiden Bradley.6 Baycliffe was separated from Horningsham to the north and from Maiden Bradley to the south and east mainly by lanes, hedgerows, and by what was probably an ancient line 1 This article was written in 2009–10. Maps used include OS Maps 1”, sheet 297 (rev. edn, 1893); 6”, Wilts.
