The Warminster Miscellany, 1 May 1862, reported:
On the same day [23 April 1862] a Bazaar in aid of the funds for rebuilding Chitterne Church was held at the Town Hall [Warminster].
Notwithstanding the roughness of the weather, there was a numerous attendance from all the leading families in the neighbourhood.
The room had been very tastefully decorated.
Mrs. and the Misses Temple, the Misses Ravenhill. Mrs. W. Davis, Mrs. Seagram, Mrs. Lavington, and Mrs. Richards presided at the different stalls, and were eminently successful in their efforts to attract purchasers; having on that day and during a few hours on Saturday, when the Bazaar was opened for a limited time only, realized upwards of £130.
The Chitterne Band was in attendance, and played with much taste.
