Writing as a resident of Bibstone for the last 46 years, it is not actually a village, but one of a number of a hamlets within the village and Parish of Cromhall.

Bibstone is located on and around a hill, topped by a large field referred to as 'the Hayes'. Adjacent to this is the 'Royal Oak' public house, the last remaining pub in Cromhall, which is a late-Medieval building (c.15th Century), with later additions.
Cartographers may have confused the distinction between the Parish 'of' Cromhall, and the area around St.Andrews Church, which is labelled 'Cromhall' in bold type on Ordnance Survey maps, hence describing the various areas of the Parish as villages inhteir own right.
Before 20th-Century and more recent housebuilding and road re-alignment, Cromhall Parish enclosed a dispersed collection of farms and small groups of houses. There was no village centre as such. Compare with neighbouring villages such as Wickwar, with it's planned main street, effectively a market town in miniature.
