St Margaret's, Corsley

Coordinates: 51°13′12″N 2°14′46″W / 51.220°N 2.246°W / 51.220; -2.246 St Margaret's, Corsley, is the Parish Church of Corsley in Wiltshire.

Designed by John Leachman and built in the 1830s,[1] St Margaret's is one of two Anglican churches in the parish, the other being St Mary's, Corsley, which was once a private chapel. The design and layout was very similar to those of another of Leachman's churches in Wiltshire, Christ Church, Warminster. However, while Christ Church has been repeatedly extended and altered throughout its history, St Margaret's is substantially unaltered and thus very close to Leachman's original plans.

Since 2007, Corsley has formed part of a new benefice uniting several parishes, called the Cley Hill Villages.[2]
