Amesbury is mentioned in Domesday as having eight mills but it has a much older pedigree. In Old English Ambresburh - 'the fortress of Ambrosius' refers to the Iron Age fort known as Vespasians Camp to the west of the town and for long an important Romano-British strong-point in the fifth century.
Today Amesbury is an attractive small town in a bend of the River Avon crossed by a five arched bridge in the palladian style. The church of St Mary and St Melor was founded for Benedictine nuns in the tenth century and Amesbury Abbey itself, a successor to the priory, is set in the park and is largely a 19th century creation, the previous house being been demolished in the 1830s.
