Colerne and Stert are two peaceful villages in the county of Wiltshire. Colerne was the site of a church of St John the Baptist built in the 13th century, while in the Middle Ages Stert possessed only a chapel belonging to the church of Urchfont. The acquisition of the manors there in the 14th century, with the church advowson at Colerne, was a key moment in the construction of the patrimony of ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ under its founder William of Wykeham.
