Bemerton, once a separate village to the west of Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, is now virtually a suburb of that city. George Herbert (1593–1633) was rector of Fugglestone with Bemerton and is buried at Bemerton. Modern day Bemerton is split between the areas of Bemerton Heath, Bemerton Village and Lower Bemerton.


Until 1894 Bemerton was a chapelry of Fugglestone St Peter, but it was then established as a parish in its own right. In 1927 a large part of Bemerton was transferred to the borough of Salisbury, and in 1934 Bemerton parish was dissolved: most of its population was transferred to the newly created parish of Quidhampton, and the remainder to Wilton borough.[1]


Bemerton has three Church of England parish churches. St. Andrew's was originally Norman but was largely rebuilt later in the Middle Ages.[2] St. John's is a Gothic Revival building designed by T.H. Wyatt and completed in 1861.[3] St. Michael's was consecrated in 1957.[4]
