The Old Post Office at number 20 Church Street is late a 17th or early 18th century build in brick with a thatched roof and a later lean-to extension. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1035899 West Lavington, along with Littleton Panell, form a nearly continuous line of ribbon development along the A360 Devizes to Salisbury road on the northern edge of Salisbury Plain. There is evidence of occupation in this area from late Neolithic or early Bronze Age times. The Dauntsey family owned land in the parish from at least 1474 and in 1542 William Dauntsey's bequest founded a school and almshouses.
