HEYTESBURY VILLAGE

Heytesbury lies in the beautiful Wylye Valley just off the A36, 3 miles SE of the ancient market town of Warminster, Wiltshire.  It has a population of about 600.

The village has a Church of England Primary School http://www.heytesbury.wilts.sch.uk/ and Hedgehogs a Pre-School and Toddler Group.  One shop/post office and two public houses, The Angel and The Red Lion.

In the middle of the High Street there stands one of the curious little “blind houses”, an octagonal building with stone-tiled roof containing a dome, in which many years ago, offenders were locked up by the village constable.  This was restored in 2007.  Sarah Buttenshaw recorded the project in words and photographs, click on the link - click here to open  Access at any reasonable time.
