Redlynch is a village and civil parish about 6.5 miles (10.5 km) southeast of Salisbury in Wiltshire, England. The parish includes the villages of Morgan's Vale and Woodfalls immediately west and south-west of Redlynch, Lover 1 mile (1.6 km) southeast of Redlynch, and Hamptworth and Nomansland 3 miles (4.8 km) east and south-east of Redlynch. The village, and much of the parish, lies within the boundaries of the New Forest National Park.[2]
Redlynch was formerly part of the parish of Downton.[3] It became a separate civil parish in 1896. It was expanded in 1934 to include the former parish of Morgan's Vale and Woodfalls, split from Downton in 1923, and Nomansland.[4]
Governance
The village is part of 'Redlynch and Langford' electoral ward. The ward stretches easterly from Redlynch to Landford. The total population of the ward taken at the 2011 census was 4,719.[5]
Parish churches
The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary at Lover is a yellow brick building[6] dating from 1837.[3]
The parish church of Saint Birinus at Morgan's Vale was built as a chapel of ease to Downton in 1894-96.[3] It is a red brick Gothic Revival building with stone dressings[3] and Perpendicular Gothic style windows.[6] It was designed by the Gothic Revival architect C. E. Ponting[3] of Marlborough in the style of his architectural contemporary W. D. Caroe.[6]
Redlynch vicarage was the childhood home of Bernard Walke who served as an Anglican priest in three Cornish parishes.[7]
