The Monarch's Way follows West Street past a fine stretch of wall adjoining the grounds of Wishford House. This ought to be the "length of good cob wall with flint plinth and thatched capping, with some brick patching" referred to at https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1182762 , but clearly this wall is not thatched. The listing dates originally from 1960 but was amended in 1986.

This stretch of cob wall alongside West Street is attached to Wishford House Image 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.

The house is listed and described at https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1182762 : "C18, altered and refronted c1800 ... wooden Tuscan porch". The Monarch's Way runs past.

The picture is taken from the churchyard across the road. Next door to the houses is the school. The main road is the other side of the river from this village, which has allowed it to maintain a certain timeless quality
