Berwick St James is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 185, reducing to 142 at the 2011 census. The village is about nine miles north of Salisbury.
The mid-12th-century church is notable for the fact that the stone benches in the porch are carved with the grid for the medieval board game Nine Men's Morris. Stapleford, the castle built for William of Normandy's huntsman Waleran, is nearby.
A detailed history of the village and its buildings is at British History Online, Berwick St James, which includes information about the medieval hamlet Asserton lying to the east of Berwick St. James.
