Eagle Cottage, West Street, was built in the mid 18th century. Constructed, on a plinth of chequered flint and stone, of red brick with vitrified headers, stone quoins and dressings, all under a tile roof. There is a rear 19th century extension. Some original internal fittings remain. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1146255 Great Wishford is a village in the valley of the River Wylye in Wiltshire, some 6 miles northwest of Salisbury. The village was settled in the Saxon period and was known as Wicheford (meaning a ford where wych-elms grow). Great Wishford celebrates Oak Apple Day on the 29th of May each year, when villagers claim their ancient rights to collect wood from Grovely Wood. The tradition is said to date back to 1603.
