St. George’s Church And School, Warminster

Wilfred Middlebrook, in The Changing Face Of Warminster, first written in 1960, updated in 1971, noted:

The Catholic Church of St. George, a modern red-brick building with a stone statue of England’s patron saint above the doorway, was built in 1922. A priest used to travel from Frome to administer to this new church, but as time went on there were increasing signs that Warminster was to become a military town. In 1938, when the Tank Barracks were being constructed, this little Catholic Church was also enlarged and a priest’s residence added.

Mention of this Catholic Church brings us to another big change in the face of Warminster, where Boreham Farm has been demolished at Boreham Crossroads, and a vast level playing field created there. At the Woodcock Road corner of this field is the newly-erected Catholic School, the first of its kind in Warminster.
