house has a five-bay front to its three parallel ranges and full-height bow on its left side. It was converted into eight flats in 1949. In 1934, 230 acres in the south-west of Berwick parish was transferred to Hindon. A small area in the south, including Berwick House, was transferred from Fonthill Gifford in 1986. Parish church St Leonard's Church was built in the 12th century and rebuilt in 1860, although care was taken to preserve its external appearance. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building. The church was closed in 1966, declared redundant in 1973 and is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Today Berwick St. Leonard falls within the area of the Nadder Valley team ministry, a grouping of sixteen rural churches. Local government The parish is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions. The civil parish does not elect a parish council. Instead the first tier of local government is a parish meeting, which all electors are entitled to attend.
