     |=Heytesbury=, Wilts, 206. A borough and parish, situated on the
     |river Wyley, containing 196 houses, and 1072 inhabitants. The
     |church is a spacious building, having been formerly collegiate,
     |with four prebends in it belonging to Salisbury cathedral: it is
     |built in the form of a cross, with a tower in the centre,
     |containing six bells; and is about 400 years old. Here is an
     |hospital for 12 aged men and one woman, well endowed.
     |
     |The greater part of this place was destroyed by fire in 1766, from
     |which circumstance the town has been considerably improved; it
     |consists principally of one main street, and being on the borders
     |of Salisbury Plain, is in a remarkably open and healthy situation.
     |It is an ancient borough by prescription, and sends two members to
     |parliament. A considerable woollen manufacture has been
     |established here, which has much increased its population, and it
     |formerly had a market.
