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
