  • AN INVESTIGATION INTO the LATE NEOLITHIC and EARLY BRONZE AGE ROUND BARROW MONUMENTS in the WYLYE VALLEY, WILTSHIRE by SIMON MARK HOWARTH
    AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE LATE NEOLITHIC AND EARLY BRONZE AGE ROUND BARROW MONUMENTS IN THE WYLYE VALLEY, WILTSHIRE by SIMON MARK HOWARTH A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. This thesis examines the significance of funerary practices and monuments dating to the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age in and around the Wylye Valley to the west of Stonehenge. This has been conducted through the re-evaluation of the work of Sir Richard Colt Hoare and the production of a database and Geographical Information System using the Wiltshire Sites and Monuments Record. The motivation behind why the monuments were positioned where they were has been attempted through spatial analysis within the GIS. The critical examination of the primary excavation data is based on modern interpretive frameworks and the interpretations which have been formed are re-examined to meet new thinking. The results of the thesis indicate the concentration of barrows towards the top of the valley on the northern escarpment and the clustering of barrows around older features in the landscape.

  • Kelly's Directory Extract 1920 Knook
    Kelly’s Directory Extract 1920 Knook Knook, is a parish and village on the banks of the river Wylye, and on the road from Warminster to Salisbury, 1 mile east from Heytesbury station on the Salisbury branch of the Great Western Railway and 5 miles south-east from Warminster, in the Western division of the county, Warminster union, petty sessional division and county court district, hundred of Heytesbury, rural deanery of Wylye (Heytesbury portion), Sarum archdeaconry and diocese of Salisbury. The church of St. Margaret is a small but ancient building of stone, in mixed styles, consisting of Norman chancel, nave, north porch and a belfry with one bell; the church was thoroughly restored in 1882, and affords 100 sittings. The register dates from the year 1687. The living is a vicarage, annexed to that of Heytesbury, joint net yearly value £250, in the gift of the Bishop of Salisbury and held since 1901 by the Rev. Arthur Davis Clutsom, M.A., of Worcester College, Oxford, who resides at Heytesbury. Knook Castle is an earthwork on the brow of an eminence, about 3 miles north-east of Heytesbury; near it is Old Ditch, which, commencing at Westbury Leigh, stretches, with few interruptions, across Salisbury Plain to Durnford, on the river Avon. The site of two villages, connected by means of Old Ditch, is pointed out on Knook Down; the spot is marked by great cavities and irregularities of ground. The manor and land are now held in trust during the minority of the present Lord Heytesbury’s son. The soil is various; subsoil, chalk and stone.

Knook Castle is an earthwork on the brow of an eminence, about 2 miles northward of Heytesbury; near it is Old Ditch, which, commencing at Westbury Leigh, stretches, with few interruptions, across Salisbury Plain to Durnford, on the river Avon. The site of two villages, which were connected by means of Old Ditch, is pointed out on Knook Down; the spot is marked by great cavities and irregularities of ground. Lord Heytesbury is lord of the manor and the sole landowner. The soil is various, some is light, other clay; subsoil, chalk and stone.

  • Wanderings in Wessex
    Wanderings In Wessex By Edric Holmes Wanderings In Wessex CHAPTER I WINCHESTER AND CENTRAL HAMPSHIRE The foundations of the ancient capital of England were probably laid when the waves of Celtic conquest that had submerged the Neolithic men stilled to tranquillity. The earliest records left to us are many generations later and they are obscure and doubtful, but according to Vigilantius, an early historian whose lost writings have been quoted by those who followed him, a great Christian church was re-erected here in A.D. 164 by Lucius, King of the Belgae, on the site of a building destroyed during a temporary revival of paganism. The Roman masters of Lucius called his capital, rebuilt under their tuition, "Venta Belgarum." The British name—Caer Gwent—belonged to the original settlement. The size and boundaries of both are uncertain. Remains of the Celtic age are practically non-existent beneath Winchester, though the surrounding hills are plentifully strewn with them, and if Roman antiquities occasionally turn up when the foundations of new buildings are being prepared, any plan of the Roman town is pure conjecture. The true historic interest of Winchester, and historically it is without doubt the most interesting city in England, dates from the time of those West Saxon chiefs who gave it the important standing which was eventually to make it the metropolis of the English. The early history of Winteceaster is the history of Wessex, and when Cerdic decided to make it the capital of his new kingdom, about 520, it was probably the only commercial centre in the state, with Southampton as its natural port and allied town.
