The ancient village of Britford (pop 560) is 1 mile south of Salisbury, with beautiful views of the Cathedral from the water meadows. It is a small community with no shop, but proud of a very successful cafe with delicious homemade food. Longford castle is at the southern end of the village, there is a fish farm and two other farms and for centuries the sheep fair was held in Britford.
Longford C of E Primary school serves children from the surrounding area. There are a few families in Britford with children but most of the residents are retired.
Our parish of St Peter's in Britford is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Benefice Safeguarding Officer (BSO). Our Diocese of Salisbury’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our BSO.
If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact the BSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor.
If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
