Hazelbury is a former village in the civil parish of Box, Wiltshire, England. It was about 0.5miles southeast of the present-day village of Box and 3miles south-west of the town of Corsham.
There was a Roman villa.[1] Hazelbury was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Haseberie, with 25 households and a church. The church fell into disuse before 1540.[2] In the 1872 Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, Hazelbury is described as "once was a parish; and it still ranks as a rectory in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol".[3] The name is spelled Hasilbury in a 1900 book.[4]
Chapel Plaister, an ancient roadside church and hospice for pilgrims which still stands about half a mile to the south-east, was dependent on Hazelbury church.[5]
The extinction of the village probably followed the Black Death pandemic.[6] Today only Hazelbury Manor survives: a 15th-century Grade I listed building in grounds of 186acres.
