All Saints (a tin tabernacle) at Brokerswood, to the north of Dilton Marsh, was transferred from North Bradley parish in 1973. Today both churches are part of the White Horse Team Ministry, centred on Westbury. The church of St Philip and St James at Chapmanslade, southwest of Dilton Marsh, was built as a chapel of ease to Holy Trinity in 1867, and transferred to Corsley ecclesiastical parish in 1925. Providence Baptist Church at Penknap was built in 1810, after a dispute at the nearby Westbury Leigh Baptist Church; soon a Sunday school was started. The building was enlarged in 1835 and continues in use. Stormore Baptist Chapel was built in 1844 as an offshoot of the Westbury Leigh church, replacing a smaller building of 1839 which was provided owing to the distance from Penknap and Westbury. This too continues in use. Features The village High Street is 2 km (2187 yd) long. The village has a public house (the Prince of Wales), a post office, grocery shop, fish and chip shop, and a combined farm shop, garden centre and cafe (Fairfield Farm College). The village school continues as Dilton Marsh Church of England Primary School, in new accommodation built in 1988 behind the former church school. Governance The village forms part of Ethandune electoral division of Wiltshire Council. This almost encircles Westbury, taking in Heywood, Bratton, Edington, and Coulston. The total population of Ethandune, at the 2011 census, was 4,526. Transport At the eastern end of the village is Dilton Marsh railway station, known locally as "the Halt", a simple pair of platforms on the Westbury–Warminster line. This is a request stop the subject of the John Betjeman poem Dilton Marsh Halt. In the past, passengers were directed to the seventh house up the hill, Holmdale, where tickets could be bought from Mrs H. Roberts acting as a ticket agent for British Rail.
