Minor road on the approach to Maisey Farm. It would appear that part of the shelter belt of trees to the right of the road has been felled. The farm spells its name with an 's', the village with a 'z'. Elsewhere, it is spelt 'Meysey' Image The name derives from Robert de Maizey, who held the manor from 1242 (perhaps the same Robert de Maizey after whom Marston Meysey is named). http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/wilts/vol12/pp138-151
