Dating from Saxon times, Warminster lies to the south west of Salisbury Plain, beneath the chalk downland with its abundant flora and fauna, and at the head of one of Britain's "best kept secrets" - the Wylye Valley with its attractive villages and historic landscape.

HISTORY
Although the settlement of Warminster dates from Saxon times, the downs around the today's town were once occupied by Iron Age people who left their earthworks, including hill forts and barrow mounds. Battlesbury Camp is one of the major Iron Age hill forts in Britain.

Warminster's later history was peaceful and prosperous. In the Middle Ages the town became famous not only for its wool and cloth trade but also for its great prosperity as a corn market (it was second only to Bristol in the West of England). Many of the buildings which survive in the Market Place owe their origin to the great corn market days when they were used as stores and warehouses, or as inns and hostelries for the buyers and sellers who came from many miles around.

During the Civil War (1642-1645) the town is thought to have changed hands at least four times between the Royalist and Parliamentary supporters. When James II came to the throne in 1685 the local gentry and the Wiltshire Militia supported him against the Duke of Monmouth who was defeated.

When the writer William Cobbett visited the area in 1826 he found it a fertile and productive region of, for the most part, arable farming with also the rearing of thousands of sheep. He described Warminster as "solid and good."

Following the demise of the Corn Market a host of rural and light industries developed including silk throwing, paint manufacture, banana ripening, barley breeding, greeting card production, gloving, shoe making, and packaging. Many of these have now, in turn, gone but the town has maintained its links as a military centre. Many who saw military service here have since returned to make their homes in Warminster.

TODAY
Warminster today is a residential area with a population of approximately 20,000, many of whom work outside the town which has remained relatively unspoilt. A bypass has taken much of the traffic out of the main streets and the old charm has been kept by the protection of many local buildings. The architecture, based on local rubble stone, Chilmark and Bath stone, and brick and tiles from nearby Crockerton, reflect the days when Warminster was a busy coaching centre. Among the surviving buildings are the Anchor and Bath Arms inns and the Old Bell hotel.

Within easy distance of the town centre is the open countryside featuring not only the hills to the north but the valley of the river Wylye to the south and west. The countryside immediately to the south has been officially designated an area of outstanding natural beauty. The many open spaces provide excellent opportunities for cyclists, ramblers, horse riders and hang-gliders.

About Charles Church

Charles Church - The Name on the Finest Homes

When Charles and Susanna Church laid the foundations of their first home in 1965, they were doing more than building a desirable residence. They were turning their vision of the perfect home into a benchmark for quality and a legacy for future generations to appreciate.

In the intervening years, Charles Church has grown to establish itself as one of the country’s foremost housebuilding brands whilst maintaining its unrivalled reputation for the design and quality of the homes it builds.

Over four decades later, their principles remain the cornerstone of every home we build. Charles Church’s philosophy of combining aesthetically pleasing designs with traditional building techniques is as relevant today as it was then, and the company prides itself on the sympathetic way in which its homes are designed to harmonise with their surroundings. Wherever possible, many period or regional features are incorporated, including its trademark brick and knapped flint combination, decorative tile hanging and the use of natural stone.

Perhaps best known for its traditional designs, Charles Church has not remained rooted in the past, however, and has evolved to ensure that it continues to meet and exceed the demands of a new generation of homeowners. That is why you will now find an impressive array of Charles Church homes to suit all lifestyles in both rural and city centre locations. Not only does the scope of its developments now encompass traditional design reflecting the prevailing local architecture, but also embraces contemporary and exciting architectural styles and breathes new life into redundant historic and commercial buildings through their sensitive conversion and restoration.

What remains the same, however, is the company’s emphasis on exacting standards and attention to detail at every stage of the construction process, enabling it to achieve in its homes a totally unmistakable quality and sense of style. The results of this unique combination of principles have been rewarded with numerous prestigious consumer and industry awards over the years.

The ultimate winner however, is the buyer of a Charles Church home.
