This is the entrance on the Salisbury Road to the Old Rectory in Chilmark, and it does not appear to be used very often. There is another entrance to the south in The Street, the main street in the village. The grounds of the rectory used to be known as Chilmark Park, and the Church fete has been held there for a long time. When the house was up for sale in 2004 its 'edge of village' location was a selling point, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/main.jhtml?xml=/property/2004/05/26/pedge26.xml. The article has a picture of the Old Rectory. The house is a listed building, http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=320332&mode=quick

Salisbury Road, the main road through Chilmark, is the B3809 that runs east-west from the A30 at Barford St Martin to the A303 trunk road near West Knoyle. This was once the earliest road west from Salisbury when as a turnpike it went onto Shaftesbury. The road however was allowed to expire in 1788 when a new turnpike, now the route of the present A30, was constructed. The Black Dog, the village's public house, can be seen in the distance, in Image, as the road curves to the left.

This short village footpath runs from Burberry, the street that leads up to the church of St Margaret of Antioch, see Image, to Salisbury Road, the main road through Chilmark.

Much of the parish church of Chilmark dates from the late 13th century when additions were made to an existing small church using stone from the Chilmark Quarries. The porch was added in the 14th century, the spire in the 18th century, and the north aisle and vestry in Victorian times. The church is a listed building, http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=320298&mode=quick. The ST97 easting grid line passes just to the right of the spire, so the chancel is in this grid square whilst the rest of the church lies in the adjacent grid square Image St Margaret was a maiden Christian martyr in Antioch, Syria in the 3rd or 4th century, who was widely venerated in the Middle Ages. When she refused to marry the local Roman prefect, she was beheaded. Her proclamation as a patron saint of expectant mothers was based on the story that during her trials she was swallowed by Satan in the form of a dragon and later disgorged unharmed.
