The fine garden wall, gate piers and paving to The Old House, number 11 Parsonage Lane Image, are listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1182789 Market Lavington lies at the foot of the north western scarp slope of Salisbury Plain, about 5 miles south of Devizes. There is evidence of continuous occupation of the village since the Iron Age and maybe, near continuous occupation since late Neolithic times. The village developed around the cross roads of an east-west road (now the B3098) and a north-south road which ran from Devizes to Salisbury – later closed. Once considered a town, a market charter was granted in 1254.
