Ansty, Wiltshire
Ansty is a small village and civil parish in southwest Wiltshire, England, about east of Shaftesbury. The village is just north of the A30, between Shaftesbury and Salisbury. The parish includes the hamlet of Ansty Coombe. History In the southern part of the parish is White Sheet Hill, on which there are Bronze Age barrows including a long barrow. In the eastern part of the parish there is bowl barrow. The barrow may be older than the pagan Saxon burial from the 7th century AD that has been found in it. Grave goods excavated from the burial include a diadem, palm cups, enamelled ironwork and an incense burner. Domesday Book in 1086 recorded two estates at ''Anestioe'', with altogether 17 households.

Ansty Preceptory
Ansty Preceptory was a medieval monastic house in Wiltshire, England, founded by the Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem. History A manor at Ansty was granted to the Knights Hospitallers by Walter De Turberville in 1210–1211. At that time Ansty would have been one of only a handful of places where the holy observances were still celebrated, since the Knights Hospitallers, who answered directly to Rome, were excluded from Pope Innocent III's interdict (1208–1214). The Hospitallers founded a preceptory in the parish. By 1275 they had property in Salisbury, and they later had lands in the adjacent parish of Swallowcliffe, undertaking in 1333 to provide a chaplain for the church there. Little is known of the later history of the preceptory. In 1540–1541, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the properties were granted to John Zouche. Queen Mary after her accession in 1553 restored the order in England and returned all its property, including ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
