Starfield was a detached house, originally built in the 18th century and largely rebuilt in the mid 19th century. Many later additions and alterations were made and the property was a children's home until the early 1970s. Converted into independent houses and apartments and now known as Starfield Court. There is a view of the front of the property at Image Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1021813 Two miles north east of Bradford-on-Avon the village of Holt originally consisted of a settlement around the church and an area around a triangular green called The Ham. The village greatly expanded in the later 20th century. Primarily an agricultural village, it was briefly a spa and there was a woollen cloth mill and factories producing leather, gloves and beds. Now a commuter village with workers travelling to Melksham, Trowbridge and Bradford-on-Avon.
