Wiltshire Murders brings together numerous murderous tales, some which were little known outside the county, and others which made national headlines. Contained within the pages of this book are the stories behind some of the most heinous crimes ever committed in Wiltshire. They include the murder of Eliza Jones, stabbed to death by her common-law husband in 1836; the shooting of a policeman in 1892; Mary Ann Nash, who disposed of her illegitimate son in 1907 by dropping him into a disused well; and Edward Richards, who died in Trowbridge during an attempted robbery in 1925. Nicola Sly's carefully researched, well-illustrated and enthralling text will appeal to anyone interested in the shady side of Wiltshire's history, and should give much food for thought.

The Little Book of Wiltshire is a compendium of fascinating information about the county, past and present.

A reliable reference and a quirky guide, this book can be dipped in to time and again to reveal something new about the people, the heritage, the secrets and the enduring fascination of the county. A remarkably engaging book, this is essential reading for visitors and locals alike.

The walks include Barbury Castle, Ogbourne St George, Savernake Forest, Stourhead, Tollard Royal and ancient Avebury where the Ridgeway footpath begins.

For thousands of years, the landscape of Wiltshire has played host to carefully concealed hoards of material wealth; from tools to weapons, jewellery to money. Over the last two hundred years, the discoveries of these previously hidden treasures have led to the rewriting of our understanding of this country and the people who lived in it.\n\nIn this book, archaeologist Richard Henry examines ten of the most significant of these hoards. Through considering these finds in relation to their landscape context and scientific analysis, it is clear these items have much to tell us - from medieval silver coins that reflect the battle for power during the Anarchy (1135-1153), to Roman saucepans and wine strainers that may suggest ritual consumption at tribal boundaries.\n\nHoards from Wiltshire explores the types of objects hidden away and the motivations for doing so, deepening our understanding of the people who used and deposited them as well as the history of the county as a whole.

\"Britsoft documents a vibrant period of invention in Britain’s cultural history – the start of a new form of entertainment, created on ZX Spectrums, Commodore 64s, Amigas and Atari STs, in bedrooms and living rooms. Interviewees include: David Braben (Elite), Peter Molyneux (Populous), Rob Hubbard (Commando) and Jeff Minter (Attack of the Mutant Camels),\n\n The book is a companion piece to the 2014 documentary, From Bedrooms to Billions, and draws from the hundreds of hours of interview footage to find new, untold stories, and craft an original narrative.

The glorious county of Wiltshire boasts two World Heritage sites: Stonehenge and Avebury. These magnificent monuments have fascinated people for thousands of years and continue to draw millions of visitors from across the world. There is a vast array of other Neolithic sites in the county, including Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow. Together with its impressive heritage, Wiltshire is known for its beautiful landscape - almost half of the county is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Salisbury Plain covers 300 square miles and is famous for its archaeology, although it is now used mainly for military training and is closed to the public, which makes it an impressive wildlife haven.\n\nIn this book, professional photographer Diane Vose captures the spirit, essence and identity of Wiltshire in a series of exceptional images. This stunning visual treasury highlights the history and variety of places to be found in this south-western shire and reveals how it is a place where the past and present work in perfect harmony. \n\nWhite horses carved into the chalk hillsides are a symbol of Wiltshire at locations including Westbury, Cherhill, Devizes, Alton Barnes, Pewsey and Marlborough. The city of Salisbury has its medieval cathedral, and dotted throughout the county are historic market towns and charming, picturesque villages. Places such as Lacock and Castle Combe are popular filming locations and visitors will recognise the gold stone cottages, pretty bridges and quaint high streets.\n\nTaken throughout the seasons, these pictures reflect the scenic splendour, rich heritage and contrasting treasures of this enchanting county. Wiltshire in Photographs is a superb collection of images that will appeal to residents and visitors alike.

Wiltshire was understandably one of the most militarised wartime counties, encompassing the whole of Salisbury Plain. But the story of Wiltshire at War is also about weapon development, tactics and planning operations. British, Commonwealth and American troops made use of the facilities, and the civil population played their part, working in factories, the Home Guard or the Women's Voluntary Service. In this book we visit the places associated with the county's war effort. This fascinating selection of photographs traces some of the many ways in which Wiltshire has changed and developed since the war. Starting in Salisbury and Swindon, where Spitfires were built, we explore Boscombe Down, where Fighter Command's only Victoria Cross of the war was won, and Ramsbury, where airborne forces left for D-Day. We visit Highworth, gateway to the secret world of auxiliary units; Box, an underground city with bomb stores and Fighter Command control rooms; and many other places that give Wiltshire a diverse wartime landscape.
