Location

The settlement lies just off the A36 road, mid-way between Salisbury and Warminster, and some ten miles south-west of Amesbury.

Name

In the Domesday Book of 1086, Fisherton is spelt Fisertone and had not yet gained its further name. "Delamere", variously spelt through the ages, was added later because this was the name of the lords of the manor, the Delameres of Nunney Castle.

History

In 1086, Fisherton was owned by Roger de Corcelle. He was also the owner of Curry Mallet in Somerset, under which his Wiltshire manor was held. In the time of Edward the Confessor, Fisherton had been owned by a man named Bondi.
