Fyfield, Wiltshire
Fyfield is a village and civil parish in the English county of Wiltshire, in the Kennet Valley about west of Marlborough. The village is on the A4 road which was historically the main route from London to the west of England. History Fyfield Down has extensive remains from successive phases of prehistoric to post-medieval activity. A 300-acre field system extending onto Overton Down has produced Iron Age and Romano-British finds. The downland has many sarsen stones – pieces of dense, hard, sandy rock. In prehistoric times these were used for monuments, handaxes, quern-stones and other implements; medieval houses in Kennet Valley villages had walls made from sarsen blocks. Around 1850, Edward Free began a stone-cutting business at Fyfield which supplied much material for buildings, pavements and kerbs. The Free family moved to Marlborough in 1890; sarsen cutting declined after 1915 and ceased in 1939. Prior to the mid 19th century, the village was centred south of the chu ...
