Wiltshire County of England

Wiltshire is a county in South West England with an area of 3,485 km2. It is landlocked and borders the counties of Dorset, Somerset, Hampshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. The county town was originally Wilton, after which the county is named, but Wiltshire Council is now based in the county town of Trowbridge.

The churches at Hullavington and Surrendell, both southwest of Malmesbury, were granted to the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Victor-en-Caux (Saint-Victor-l'Abbaye, Seine-Maritime) in the late 11th or early 12th century, and the establishment later gained the manors of Hullavington and Clatford, west of Marlborough. Priors are intermittently recorded from 1261 until about 1390. In 1441 the priory's land was given to Eton College. [1]
