This booklet was conceived as a fitting marker for the Hindon millennial celebrations. Although there have been previous booklets about Hindon, there has been none that so fully describes the church. We have also approached the history of Hindon in a different way, and in a manner which befits the celebration of 2000 years of Christianity, by tracing the history of the development of the faith in the village and the surrounding area.
Apart from looking afresh at old sources, the author has had the advantage of major new studies written since the last booklet on Hindon in 1979. These have helped him correct some commonly held assumptions of the time, not least that the present church of 1870‑71 replaced a Tudor building. But records of the medieval and Tudor periods are so scant that he has had to suggest a pattern of worship and events from known practice generally.

Two villages; one name; separated by an ocean. The one, in a Wiltshire valley; the other, on an island off the southern shores of Massachusetts.
The main historical happenings, in both Countries, have been outlined in order to create a framework for the lives of the communities. Although the rural surroundings might suggest that most lives would have been relatively uneventful, they were not free of hardship and danger and were often led to a background of strife ‑ whether when Danes, for instance, hammered Saxons or when French and Indians raided New England colonists.
Most of all, this is the story of the family who transplanted the names of Chilmark and Tisbury to the New World, who shaped the early history of the settlers on Martha's Vineyard and who, by their honourable dealings and sense of mission, were exemplary in their relationships with the native Americans.
