"The village of Heytesbury is a very ancient one. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Hestrebe, but Sir Richard Colt Hoare of Stourhead, wrote in 1824 in his “History of Modern Wiltshire and the Hundred of Heytesbury” employed in the compiling of the Domesday Book softened the rough Saxon Hestredesbirig into Haseberie. The late Lord Heytesbury wrote “John Britton” writing in 1814, gives Haresbury as a variation in use. In the last century Heytesbury was often pronounced ‘Hettsbury’."
