High Street, MARLBOROUGH, SN8 2QP

York House, number 38 High Street is a large terraced property. The building was formerly The Burdett Arms public house (earlier named The White House) which closed in 2009. Now a private dwelling. Ramsbury lies in fertile farming land in the valley of the River Kennet. The site has been occupied since at least the Iron Age and there are several Roman villas. There was a bishopric of Ramsbury, established by 909 and ended in 1075 when it was included in the bishopric of Salisbury. Until 1744 when the present A4 road was turnpiked, the road through the village was part of the main route from London to Bristol.

It seems that no pubs are safe from closure any more. This one on the High Street is up for sale at auction, with a guide price of £350,000 in July 2009, and with planning permission to convert it into a residential property. The Burdett family owned the local manor in the 19th and 20th centuries, and Burdett Street is to the right.

Ramsbury is fortunate in having its own branch library run by Wiltshire CC. The building was built as the Salvation Army 'barracks' in 1908, and there are names of various 'officers' on the foundation stones. This was probably the third building in the village that the SA had occupied, but they were not always popular in a village once known for its brewing trade.
