Malmesbury
On the northern borders of Wiltshire stands the small market town of Malmesbury.
Its origins date back to the middle of the sixth century, after the Saxons wrested final control over this part of the country from the Britons. Malmesbury is the oldest borough in England, with a charter given by Alfred the Great around 880.
The town is dominated by the now ruined abbey at its centre. Only a third of the abbey has survived, but in the Middle Ages the building had a tall central spire, reaching higher than Salisbury Cathedral's high spire.
