Melksham Local information |
| |
It lies in a valley sheltered by steep chalk hills on the east, its old fashioned stone houses lining a single broad street, which crosses the Upper Avon by a bridge of four arches. The church preserves some remnants of Norman work and a perpendicular south chapel of rare beauty. Melksham possesses cloth-mills and dye-works. On the Unearthing of a saline spring in 1816, Baths and pump-room were opened, but although two other springs were found later, the attempt to create a modern health resort failed. The surrounding Deer-Forest was often visited by Edward I. Lacock ABBEY, 3 M distant, was founded in 1232 for AUSTINE canonesses, And dissolved in 1539. Portions of the monastic buildings remain as picturesque fragments in and near the Modern Mansion called Lacock Abbey. |
