the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia

A large settlement of 60 households, held by Edward of Salisbury, was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Chitterne was one of many Wiltshire estates owned in the 12th century by Ela, 3rd Countess of Salisbury.

Until 1907 there were two ancient parishes, Chitterne St. Mary to the west and Chitterne All Saints to the east. Their villages were adjacent and each had a small parish church. In the 19th century they became two civil parishes, and in 1907 they were combined to form the single Chitterne civil parish.
