What is "bemerton"

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.

Until 1894 Bemerton was a chapelry of Fugglestone St Peter, but it was then established as a parish in its own right.

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