Wilton houses [1]
Even numbers 22 to 32 King Street, this row of six almshouses, in a Tudor-Gothic style, were built in 1831 on the site of the medieval hospital of St Magdalene. Constructed of gault brick under a slate roof. A plaque on the building reads "This Hospital of Saint Mary Magdalen of Wilton was rebuilt on its present site in fulfillment of the intentions of George Augustus 11th Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery by Catherine his widow and sole executrix A. Dni. 1831". Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1023707
A former county town, Wilton is situated some 2¾ miles west of Salisbury on the confluence of the River Nadder and the River Wylye. The town grew around Wilton Abbey, founded in the 8th century, and was the administrative capital of Wiltshire until the 11th century. The town declined in importance after Salisbury Cathedral was built. The town is renowned for carpet manufacture, which began in 1741 when two French weavers were brought in and a carpet factory continued to operate until 1995. The country estate of Wilton House is an integral part of the town.

Bench Mark, St Peter's Church, Fugglestone St Peter
The bench mark is to be found on the north side of the church at the northeast angle. For a view of the church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/884772 and for further information on the bench mark http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm29806
A bench mark is an Ordnance Survey arrowhead sign found on walls, bridges, churches and specially erected triangulation pillars where the altitude above sea-level has been accurately measured by surveyors. The arrowhead points to a horizontal line above it which marks the exact altitude.
With rivets and pivots there is no datum (horizontal line) cut, the pointed-to horizontal surface defining the datum height.
