Parsonage Farmhouse, now a detached house, has a 16th century wing with tension bracing (right) and a 17th century wing with square bracing (left). The house is reputed to contain some original internal features. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1021495 Edington is a former agricultural village which lies on the ‘springline’ of the northern escarpment of Salisbury Plain about 4 miles east of the town of Westbury. A priory was founded in the 14th century and became a monastery of the Brothers of Penitence, or Bonshommes. The magnificent monastery church continues in use as the parish church and is the home of the nationally-known annual Edington Music Festival.
