Part of the churchyard. The Anglican parish church of All Saints was originally a Saxon foundation associated with the estate of Burbage. The chancel, tower and west porch of the church were rebuilt in the 14th century, the south aisle was added in the 15th century and the south porch added in the 16th century. Other than the west tower and its porch, the church was rebuilt in 1853. Constructed of flint with some limestone ashlar, the upper stage of the tower is of ashlar. The roofs are of slate and lead. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1035909 Burbage is a village in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire, it lies about 5½ miles southeast of Marlborough and some 15½ miles west of Newbury. The narrow village High Street was the main north to south road from Marlborough to Andover (A346) until a bypass was built to the west in 1991. Settlement can be traced back to the Neolithic period, and Bronze Age artefacts have been found. Burbage is now essentially a commuter village.
