Situation

Westbury is a market town on the western boundary of Wiltshire bordering Somerset. The town lies below the northwestern edge of Salisbury Plain, about 4 miles south of Trowbridge, 7 miles northeast of fashionable Frome and a similar distance north of Warminster. Westbury was known for the annual Hill Fair where sheep were sold in the 18th and 19th Centuries. With its main-line station offering direct services to London Paddington and Waterloo, Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, and the south coast, the A350, which connects the M4 motorway with the south coast, passes through the town, adding to the convenience. This well-established street off of the old Market Place provides a quiet escape from the town centre that offers numerous shops, restaurants and public houses. All Saint's Church to which this was the Vicarage, is a short walk away and visible through the mature tree screen in the rear garden.
