Number 57 High Street and Angel Cottage, number 59 High Street, are a pair of 18th century cottages. Constructed of diaper brick under a thatch roof. Both cottages have one bay, each extended by a narrow lean-to bay at the end. There are dates of 1777 and 1781 scratched on the brickwork. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1035913 Burbage is a village in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire, it lies about 5½ miles southeast of Marlborough and some 15½ miles west of Newbury. The narrow village High Street was the main north to south road from Marlborough to Andover (A346) until a bypass was built to the west in 1991. Settlement can be traced back to the Neolithic period, and Bronze Age artefacts have been found. Burbage is now essentially a commuter village.
