Malmesbury
 Malmesbury, the "Queen of hilltop towns",
lies 10 miles north of us. With the remains of its impressive
Norman Abbey, Malmesbury is reputed to be the oldest
borough in England. The town received its charter in AD880 from King Alfred
the Great, although there is earlier recorded evidence of a settlement noted
by the Venerable Bede when the town was called Maeldulphi Urbs. |
