Корсли — деревня и гражданский приход в 3 милях (5 км) к западу от Уорминстера в Уилтшире, Англия. Приход находится на границе графства с Сомерсетом ; город Фром в Сомерсете находится примерно в 3 милях (5 км) к северо-западу. Крупнейшим поселением в приходе является Корсли-Хит , который находится на дороге A362 Уорминстер- Фром .

В приходе есть несколько небольших поселений. Lye's Green находится между Corsley и Corsley Heath (не путать с Lye Green в приходе Westwood около Брэдфорда на Эйвоне). Lane End находится к западу от Corsley Heath на A362, а небольшая деревушка Sturford находится к востоку. К югу от главной дороги находятся Dertfords , Longhedge , Whitbourne Moor (ранее Lower Whitbourne), Temple (ранее Middle Whitbourne) и Whitbourne Springs (ранее Upper Whitbourne). [2]

Большая часть прихода изначально была частью поместья Лонглит , а часть парка сафари Лонглит находится в границах прихода. Холм Клей , принадлежащий Национальному фонду , находится на востоке прихода.

История

В «Книге Страшного суда» о Корсли говорится: «Азор владеет одним гайдом в Корсли... Здесь вспаханная земля... и мельница платит 40 пенсов. А лес длиной в фарлонг и шириной в полфарлонга. Он стоит 20 шиллингов ». [3] В 1232 году Генрих III даровал поместье Корсли Годфри де Кроукамбу с правом проводить ежегодную ярмарку 20 июля (в праздник Святой Маргариты) и еженедельный рынок по пятницам. [4]

Примерно к 1250 году существовало четыре отдельных поместья : Корсли, Литл-Корсли, Хантенхалл и Уитборн. [5]

In 1544, after the monastery at Maiden Bradley had been dissolved, the manor of Whitbourne was sold and the chapel of St John there disappeared.[6] In 1579, Little Corsley was bought by Walter Hungerford of Farleigh Hungerford Castle. In 1539, the manor of Corsley was granted to Edward Seymour, who in 1547 leased it to his steward John Thynne.[7] In 1560 Thynne was himself granted the manor of Corsley; he built or rebuilt a house at Corsley, part of which survives as Manor Farm,[8] and lived there from 1563 to 1568 while rebuilding Longleat House.[9]

After the death of Thynne in 1580, his widow, known as Dame Dorothy, lived at Manor Farm as a dower house. At the same time, Sir Walter Raleigh, who was in disgrace, was living at a farm near St Margaret's parish church, Corsley. He and his brother Carew Raleigh used to visit Dame Dorothy, who married Carew Raleigh.[10]

The boundaries of the civil parish were redrawn in 1934. The northern part (including Corsley Mill and Huntenhull) was transferred to the new parish of Chapmanslade, while in the south a portion of Longleat's park and woodland was transferred from Warminster to Corsley.[2]

A National School was built at Corsley in 1847 on land owned by Lord Bath, near the church. Children of all ages attended until 1931, when pupils over 11 transferred to the new Avenue Senior School at Warminster.[11] In 1944 the school became a Church of England aided school; it closed in 2007 owing to falling pupil numbers.[12] The building became a conference centre,[13] and was a temporary home for Frome's Steiner School from 2012 to 2014.[14]

Churches and chapels

There are two Church of England churches in the parish. Both are served by the Cley Hill team ministry.[15]

The parish church of St Margaret, Corsley, was built in 1833 by John Leachman on the site of an earlier church.[16]

St Mary's Church at Temple was built as a chapel of ease in 1899–1903, in Arts & Crafts Gothic style, after Mary Barton (d. 1878) of Corsley House left money in her will to provide the church in memory of her husband and son.[17][18] Around 2015 the church was taken into the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.[19]

Wesleyan Methodists were active from 1769[2] and a chapel was built at Lane End in 1849, with a schoolroom added late in the century. The chapel closed in 1966 and is in residential use.[20]

The parish had a Baptist congregation by the 1780s, and a chapel was built at Temple in 1811.[21] Money to pay for the land and the building was raised by the preacher, Richard Parsons of Chapmanslade, who continued as pastor until his death in 1853. Around the middle of the century the chapel was enlarged, and its height increased; the interior was refurbished in 1882. As of 2016 the chapel remains in use as Whitbourne Baptist Chapel.[22]

Notable buildings

Corsley House, 2006

Corsley House, a Grade ll listed building, was built for the Barton family in 1814,[23] designed by the Bath architect John Pinch the elder as a Greek revival mansion around a previous house.[24] Later residents include (from the 1890s) Maud Davies, whose Life in an English Village, published in 1909, is a pioneering sociological study.[25]

Sturford Mead was built in 1820[26] by John Pinch in the Greek revival style for H.A. Fussell, a clothier and dyer from Frome. It was sold to the Longleat estate in 1854;[2] in the 1930s it was occupied by Henry Thynne, 6th Marquess of Bath, then Viscount Weymouth, and his first wife Daphne. The gardens were designed by Russell Page.

Local government and MP

Corsley elects a parish council. Most local government services are provided by Wiltshire Council, which has its offices in nearby Trowbridge. The village is represented in Parliament by the MP for South West Wiltshire, Andrew Murrison and in Wiltshire Council by Fleur de Rhé-Philipe.
