context_page_description: Woodford is a civil parish in southern-central Wiltshire, England, on the west bank of the Salisbury Avon, about 4 miles north of Salisbury. Its settlements are the villages of Lower Woodford, Middle Woodford and Upper Woodford, the last of which is the largest of the three. In 1871, the population was 523; in 1951, this had decreased to 405 people.
  In 972, the name was recorded as Wuduforda, which in Old English means "ford in or by a wood", from wudu + ford. In the nineteenth century it was pronounced 'oodford.
context_section_description: Heale House, near Middle Woodford, is Grade I listed and is an example of Georgian architecture that dates to around 1730; it is surrounded by notable gardens. Additions were made to the house in 1894 by Detmar Blow.
  The Church of England parish church of All Saints at Middle Woodford is Grade II listed. It has 12th-century origins but was much restored in 1845 by T.H. Wyatt. A monument to Gerard Erington of Heale is dated 1596. A list of All Saint's Prebends from 1220 to 1860 is displayed in the church. These include Robert, Archdeacon of Dorset who became the first antipope residing in Avignon in France, with the title Pope Clement VII.
  At Lower Woodford, the 17th-century Manor House is Grade II listed. Avon Cottage, a timber-framed house originally built in the 15th century, was recased in red brick in the late 18th or early 19th century, with 20th-century additions to the south and east. The collar-beam roof was reconstructed in the late 16th or early 17th century when a ceiling was added in the hall. The Court House, on the eastern side of the road, was part of Woodford Manor estate until 1920 when it was sold to Major General Aston.
