*************

Winterbourne Gunner is a village in Wiltshire, England, about 4 miles (6 km) northeast of Salisbury. The village is near the River Bourne and the A338 road and is close to Winterbourne Dauntsey. It is part of the civil parish of Winterbourne, formed in 1934 by amalgamating the three ancient parishes of Winterbourne Earls, Dauntsey and Gunner.^[1]

The Defence CBRN Centre, providing training for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear events, is to the southeast of the village, beyond the West of England Main Line railway.^[2]

The Church of England parish church of St Mary was designated as a Grade I listed building on 18 February 1958. It has twelfth and thirteenth century origins with additions in 1687 and 1810, and a restoration in 1886. It is constructed of flint with limestone dressings. The twelfth century tower is at the west end and is rendered and whitewashed, and topped with a pyramidal tiled roof. The nave is short and a porch was added on the south side at the time the south aisle was removed. The interior has a fourteenth century roof over the nave with arch-braced trussed rafters with a moulded central tie beam. The font is late twelfth or early thirteenth century while the panelled limestone pulpit is nineteenth century.^[6][7]
