Abstract: |
The results of a heritage and archaeological assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. for land at Church Farm, Alvediston, Wiltshire, as part of a pre-determination submission in advance of the proposed installation of a telecommunications mast, substation and associated works. The proposed site lies within the parish of Alvediston in the historic Hundred of Chalke. The mast and cabinets would be located on the edge of a farmyard of modern farm buildings, the relocated successor to one of the post-medieval farms down in the valley: Church Farm. Alvediston, while not individually named, formed part of a grant made in 955 to the nuns of Wilton Abbey. At the Dissolution the estate passed to the Earl of Pembroke and was only sold out of that estate in 1928. Church Farm was originally the manorial demesne farm in the parish. Between 1960 and 1980 the farm was moved to a new location on the middle slopes of Middle Down. |
