Great Wishford : ウィキペディア英語版 | Great Wishford
Great Wishford is a village and civil parish in the Wylye Valley in Wiltshire, England, 3 miles north of Wilton and approximately 5 miles northwest of Salisbury. It is situated at a curve in the River Wylye and has a triangular street layout comprising South Street, West Street and Station Road. ==History== The village pre-dates the Norman conquest of 1066, but was only a hamlet at this time. The name has evolved over the years, with recorded names including Wicheford (meaning a ford where wych-elms grow), Witford, Willesford Magna (mid-16th century) and Wishford Magna (early 17th century). Set into the wall of the church is a series of nine engraved "bread stones" that record the price of bread from 1800 (during the Napoleon blockade) until 2000. To the west of the village lies the Iron Age settlement and possible hillfort of Ebsbury.
