Here in the Wiltshire village of Nunton stands the Church of St Andrew, in the parish of Odstock with Nunton and Bodenham St Mary. It is of 12th and 13th century foundation, having a south-west tower of 1854 and a vestry of 1933. It has the original Victorian pews and memorials to the Batt family. The south-west tower dates from the 1854 - 1855 rebuilding of the church by architect T H (Thomas Henry) Wyatt, who was responsible for a number of church rebuildings and restorations in this part of Wiltshire. The church was Grade II* listed by the then English Heritage, now retitled Historic England, on 23rd March 1960. In the churchyard is the Gypsy's Grave. Joshus (aka (also known as) Josiah) Scamp was hanged in Salisbury on the 1st April 1801. My late great uncle, tramp writer Jim Phelan, makes reference to the case in some of his books.
