In 1826 William Cobbett mentioned Edington in his "Rural Rides. "Very near to Bratton Castle (which is only a hill with deep ditches on it) is the village of Eddington, so famed for the battle fought here by Alfred and the Danes. The church in this village would contain several thousands of persons; and the village is reduced to a few straggling houses. The land here is very good; better than almost any I ever saw; as black and, apparently, as rich as the land in the market-gardens at Fulham. The turnips are very good all along here for several miles;" The above was copied from: http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/text/chap_page.jsp?t_id=Cobbett&c_id=23&p_id=11731#pn_64
