-- -- home herbert works life before bemerton bemerton years church interior visitors maintenance calendar bemerton old rectory around bemerton rector's page about us george herbert group friends of st. andrew's gift shop links archives content search this site www -- content what's new -- see us on facebook george herbert (1593 - 1633) one of the finest devotional poets biography there have been many george herbert biographies, covering his life and works in much more detail than is possible on this website. we have not attempted to do more than summarise his life before he came to bemerton, and then to tell something of his brief years as the local rector. those seeking fuller biographical details should follow the relevant links and consult the list of references . published works herbert's fame derives mainly from his religious poetry, and the best known of his writings is a collection of over 160 poems, published under the title of 'the temple' in 1633, the year of his death. over the next 60 years the popularity of this collection grew so strongly that by 1709 it had passed through 13 editions. he also wrote, while in bemerton, a prose work popularly known as 'the country parson' , first published in 1652. we have provided on this site a brief summary of his works . educational resource pack a pack of downloadable resource material suitable for use by young people exploring george herbert and his works is also available on this website. many people know of george herbert only because of his popular and inspiring christian hymns - 'let all the world in every corner sing' , 'teach me, my god and king' , and ' king of glory, king of peace' . these hymns represent just three of the poems from his much-admired collection 'the temple' . from a young age, herbert wrote religious poetry, and for many students of english literature he is the finest devotional poet, whose work has wide appeal to those both inside and outside the anglican church and the christian faith. inspired by conflicting desires in common with most of us, george herbert struggled for most of his life with conflicting desires. on the one hand, he was a gifted scholar who shone at school and university and for whom a glittering political career seemed to beckon. on the other, guided by his mother, he was conscious of a constant leaning towards a calling to ordination as a priest. this persistent inner turmoil was the source and inspiration of much of his poetry. it was not until the age of 36, after considerable soul searching, that he resolved his innermost doubts. he gave up any aspirations to public life, embraced the priesthood and accepted the living of the small, insignificant parish of fuggleston-cum-bemerton in wiltshire. here he found inner peace at last, serving god and the local community, and here his poetic talent was able to flourish. sadly, this tranquillity lasted for only three years, brought to an end by his early death just short of his 40th birthday. international significance people from all over the world come to lower bemerton to see st. andrew's , the little church opposite the old rectory where herbert lived. its visitors' book is filled with the names of those who have travelled from every continent, having been deeply influenced by his poetry and wanting to see for themselves where george herbert worshipped and spent his final days. in recent years there has been a resurgence of academic interest in the life and work of herbert, with a great many papers, seminars and conferences seeking to expand further the boundaries of understanding and knowledge of his writings. st andrew's church george herbert's chapel in bemerton st. andrew's is a small single room chapel, with a raised single step chancel at the east end. although there have been incumbents here since at least the 14th century, and the building retains its original shape, most of the structure has been replaced over the years. the interior has some very interesting features: there is a medieval arch in the north wall, and what is thought to be a 'leper’s squint' in the south wall. location st. andrew's was built where the roman road to old sarum crossed the river nadder, before the harnham crossing was built in the 8th century. it is entirely possible that this had been a site of worship, and indeed of christian worship, long before the current stone structure was erected. the lane (now a busy road) joining the village of bemerton to fugglestone and wilton separated the church from the old rectory , which lies directly oppposite and dates originally from the same period. restoration and maintenance we know of herbert’s restoration in the 1630s, and the church door is at least this old. the building was extensively repaired in 1776, and there were two further restorations in the 19th century (1866 and 1894-6). although the church bell is still the one tolled by herbert, the present bell cote, weathervane and cross are victorian additions, probably from the time st. john's was built in 1860. a few years ago the fabric was again causing anxiety, and between 1976 and 1979 the sum of £10,000 was raised, mostly by local efforts. the west wall was reinforced, the roof partly re-tiled, and other necessary repairs were carried out. as with all old churches, there is a constant need for maintenance and this is one of the responsibilities of the friends of st. andrew's . the church today not surprisingly, bemerton has changed a great deal since the time of george herbert. bemerton parish is now the largest in salisbury with a population of over 15,000. two newer churches have been built - st. john's (just 200 yards to the west of st. andrew's) and st. michael's, built in 1957 on bemerton heath - but st. andrew's is still in regular use. although there are seats for only about 30 people, there are regular communion sevices on friday and sunday mornings, and evening prayer with hymns on the first sundaty of every month. the church is frequently used for christenings. for details, see the church calendar . it is a spiritual centre and place of pilgrimage for visitors from all over the world. for more details, download our guide for visitors . the local area in and around bemerton , within a short distance of st. andrew's, there are some other buildings connected closely with george herbert that no visitor should miss. a little further afield, salisbury and the surrounding area offers much to the visitor wanting to appreciate the greater setting for george herbert's ministry, not least the magnificent cathedral. about bemerton the parish of george herbert's ministry bemerton today looks very different from george herbert's time, but the changes have largely occurred over the last 180 years, since the sale of the manor in 1838. for perhaps 800 years before that the place described as bymerton in the domesday book of 1086 changed very little. it was a small farming community, with a few scattered houses and a tiny 'chapel of ease', st. andrew’s church . in george herbert's time many of those who have written about george herbert, starting with izaak walton , have talked about bemerton as a tiny, remote and rural parish. but herbert's parish was not just bemerton, it was fugglestone-with-bemerton, and fugglestone was very much a suburb - not of salisbury but of another ancient town, wilton, seat of herbert's kinfolk the earls of pembroke. local historian john chandler has given us a splendidly descriptive picture of the whole parish in george herbert’s time. so the major link in the 17th century was with wilton: even in 1773, the local map (below) shows a lane linking bemerton with wilton but no direct road into salisbury. we believe that when george herbert went to the cathedral to pray and make music he walked across the meadows to the cathedral, a walk the george herbert in bemerton group often retraces today. local map 1773 the next 200 years bemerton remained a small, mostly tenant farming community until well into the 19th century even though there were changes to farming methods that affected both the landscape and the way of life. in south wiltshire the continuing development during the 18th century of the water meadows, which had started shortly after herbert's time, had a real impact on everyday life for with them came an early spring crop of hay that meant that animals could be over-wintered so that there could be fresh meat all year around. the water meadows 19th century changes when changes came in the 19th century they were dramatic: -- the purchase of the manor of bemerton by the earl of pembroke's wilton estate in 1838 led to the selling off of small plots of land for building to house a growing population. the coming of the railway at fisherton (between bemerton and salisbury) in the 1850s led to the building of a series of terraces that now make up much of the village, first to house the men building the railway and their managers, and then railway workers. the 11th earl of pembroke (also named george herbert) acknowledged the needs of the growing community by initiating the building of a village school and new church ( st. john's ), dedicated in 1860, to serve their intellectual and spiritual needs, while a number of small shops grew up to meet more practical needs. the development of the great cornfields in north america and the advent of steam ships in the late 19th century led to a major agricultural depression in england. employment in agriculture had dipped very sharply, and many farms around the village had become small scale dairies. by 1901 (see map ) the population had grown from about 200 in herbert’s time to over 1200. bemerton today the village was absorbed into the expanding city of salisbury in 1929 but its character was changed into that of suburb, less by this than by the many social changes of the 1960s, especially the coming of mass car ownership and the impact of television on the way people chose to spend their time. bemerton as we know it today is effectively two largely separate distinct suburbs of salisbury: -- lower bemerton , the residential area bounded by the railway yards to the east, the river nadder on the south, bemerton farm to the west and wilton road to the north, and bemerton heath , a large estate of mainly council houses lying between the wilton and devizes roads. development here was started shortly before the first world war. the estate expanded rapidly in the 1920s to provide 'homes fit for heroes', and then in 1946 after ww2 it saw further extensive development to become one of salisbury's largest residential areas, with a population currently in excess of 6000. george herbert's successor, the rector of bemerton , has pastoral responsibility for both these suburbs. about us this website is published on behalf of two local organisations, both of which exist to celebrate george herbert and his association with the parish of
