A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Codford St. Peter from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "CODFORD-ST. PETER, a parish in Warminster district, Wilts; on the river Wiley, near Codford [railway] station, 3½ miles SE of Heytesbury. It includes the township of Ashton-Gifford; and its post town is Codford-St-Mary, under Bath. Acres: 1,611. Real property, with Codford-St. Mary: £4,086. Population: 359. Houses: 63. The property is divided among a few. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Salisbury. Value: £380. Patron: Pembroke College, Oxford. The church is a handsome edifice with pointed windows and embattled tower."
In 1934, Codford St. Peter and Codford St. Mary were merged into the new civil parish of Codford.
Research Tips
- From this Ancestry page you can browse the Wiltshire parishes which have parish register transcripts online, quite often from very early dates. However, reading the early ones requires skill and patience. Transcriptions should also be in FamilySearch.
- A further collection of online source references will be found on the county page for Wiltshire.
