Church of St. John the Evangelist, Bemerton, Salisbury

The church was built with the help of donations from George Herbert's admirers in America and the British Prime Minister, William Gladstone gave the lectern. The church, with a chancel, nave of three bays, two aisles, a south porch and a square north tower with a small steeple in one corner, was able to accommodate the increasing population that was proving too much for the small St. Andrew's church. The church was dedicated in 1860 and is in a Neo-Early English style. A lych gate was added as a memorial to parishioners killed in the First World War. There is one large bell of 1860 and a set of tubular bells of 1887. The parish registers, except for those in current use, are held in the Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office
