Although
it is only a small village it has some notable attributes in that it has been
home to Nobel Prize winning author William Golding, Futurologist Prof James
Lovelock and Poet Siegfried Sassoon. William Golding is also buried in the village
churchyard. The
Doomsday Book refers to this area as the Manor of Chelke and it was not until
1225 that the name Burchelke first appeared. Further back in history prior
to the Roman occupation of Britain this area was inhabited by a tribe called
the Durotriges and legend has it that the Bowerchalke hamlet of Woodminton was the site of
a battle between them and Augusta's second legion commanded by Vespasian circa AD43.
