Staverton, Wiltshire
Staverton is a village and civil parish in the west of the English county of Wiltshire, about north of the centre of Trowbridge and east of Bradford on Avon. History Staverton developed near a crossing point of the Bristol Avon, on a road between Trowbridge and Holt. The road bridge may date from the 15th century and was rebuilt in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The Avon forms the entire north and west boundary of the parish, while its tributary the Biss is the boundary in the southwest. The Kennet and Avon Canal, built in 1804, is the boundary to the south and southeast. The early settlement was around a watermill and on the nearby higher ground near the church.
