Fugglestone St Peter was a small village, manor, and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, lying between the town of Wilton and the city of Salisbury. The civil parish came to an end in 1894 when it was divided between the adjoining parishes, and today Fugglestone is a largely residential area in the north of Wilton parish; however, the 13th-century parish church survives.
History
The ancient parish of Fugglestone contained 1,778
According to
In 1236, the settlement was recorded as Fughelistone, meaning Fugol's Farm.[4] The parish was part of Branch and Dole hundred.[5] In the 17th century, the name of the parish had several different forms, including Fouggleston, Foulston and Fulston. The Church of England's record of the institution of Uriah Bankes as rector in 1660 refers to it as "Fouggleston als Foulston".[6]

The Salisbury branch of the Great Western Railway (to Westbury and Warminster) was built across the parish in 1856, and was joined in 1859 by the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway (LSWR to Gillingham and Yeovil); the tracks ran side by side from Salisbury and diverged at Wilton.[1] The LSWR's Wilton station – later Wilton South – was just inside the parish;[10] the station closed in 1966.[11]
In 1801 and in 1851 the parish population was just over 500, but by 1894 this had risen to 1,060,[12] almost all in the Bemerton area.[1] In the same year, with effect from 30 September, the civil parish was dissolved, being divided between Wilton and the new parish of Bemerton.[13] At the time of this division, sixteen houses and forty-six parishioners were transferred to Wilton, the rest going to Bemerton.[1][14] Quidhampton became a separate civil parish in 1934.[15]
A farm called 'Fugglestone Farm' still covered some 600 acres (2.4 km2) in the 1920s.[16] In 1949, Fugglestone Farmhouse, a square building of stone north of the A36 and dating from the late 19th century, was acquired by the War Office as the headquarters of the British Army's Southern Command, together with a large area of land where the Army has since built barracks, stores, married quarters, and other buildings, which became Erskine Barracks. After the Army moved to Marlborough Lines at Andover in 2010, the site was sold for housebuilding.[17]
Hospitals and almshouses
In the
Churches
A church at Fugglestone is first mentioned in 1291, and a chapel at Bemerton in 1286; in 1340 St Andrew's at Bemerton, some 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) to the east, was described as dependent on St Peter's church at Fugglestone, and this may have been their relationship from the beginning. The rectory house was at Bemerton, close to St Andrew's.[1]
St Peter
The small
Inside there is a narrow south aisle, which possibly replaced an earlier wider aisle in the late 18th or early 19th century. The chancel arch may be from 1800 to 1830, and box pews are from the same period, with parts of the 17th-century pews reused against the walls.[25] There was internal restoration in 1848, and the organ and east window are from the 1850s. The small west gallery, on cast iron columns, is also from that century.[24]
In the sanctuary is a small 13th-century
St Andrew
The small chapel at Lower Road, Bemerton is from the 14th century, with restoration in the 17th and 18th centuries, and more thoroughly in the 19th. The church is associated with the poet and priest George Herbert (1593–1633), who was rector of the parish from 1630.[28]
St John
A much larger parish church was built near St Andrew's in 1861.[29]
Church parish
The ancient parish of Fugglestone St Peter, or Fugglestone with Bemerton, included Quidhampton tithing.
The parish was renamed Bemerton with Fugglestone in 1969[33] to reflect the growth in population of Bemerton, which had been a suburb of Salisbury since 1927. In 1972 the Fugglestone area was merged with Wilton parish.[34][35] Today St Peter's church is part of the parish of Wilton with Netherhampton and Fugglestone,[36] and St Andrew's is in Bemerton parish.[37]
Parish registers dating from 1568 (christenings and burials) and 1608 (marriages), other than those in current use, are held in the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre in Chippenham.

Fugglestone Red and St Peter's Place
A 1990s housing estate was named Fugglestone Red after a nearby farm.[1] As of 2021[update], a second housing development (with a primary school) is being built by Persimmon Homes northwest of Bemerton Heath and Fugglestone Red, called St Peter's Place.[44] Both areas were in the far north of Fugglestone parish and are now part of Salisbury.[45]
