Chisbury is a hamlet and prehistoric hill fort in the civil parish of Little Bedwyn in Wiltshire, England. Chisbury is about west of Hungerford and about south-east of Marlborough.
==History==
At above sea level Chisbury hill fort is the highest point in Little Bedwyn parish〔Crowley, 1999, pages 50-69〕 and encloses an area of about .〔Pevsner & Cherry, 1975, page 174〕 Palaeolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age artefacts have been found in the area, but the hill fort was most probably built in the late Iron Age in the 1st century AD.〔
St. Martin's chapel seems to have been built in the early part of the 13th century.〔 There are written records of it from 1246 onwards and its surviving architecture is contemporary with that period.〔 The windows have the remains of good-quality tracery in a style that suggests they were made in the latter part of the 13th century.〔〔 Between 1496 and 1518 St. Martin's lacked a priest, but it was served again from 1518 until 1547.〔 Thereafter St. Martin's lapsed from use for worship and was turned into a barn.〔 It was re-roofed in the 19th century and is a listed building, but in 1998 its condition was semi-ruinous.〔
Knowle Farm, about north-west of Chisbury, has a 14th-century chapel.〔 It is now an outbuilding of the farmhouse.〔 A blocked ogee-headed north window and the surround of the east window are the only surviving features.〔Pevsner & Cherry, 1975, page 463〕 The farmhouse is a brick-built Georgian house of five bays dated 1735.〔
