Cromwell Gardens, Warminster, Formerly Ludlow’s Court

Victor Manley, in his Regional Survey Of The Warminster District, Volume Five, compiled in the 1920s and 1930s, listed and attempted to explain the meaning of several local place names. He included Cromwell Gardens in his list, gives its location as “East Street” and mentions that Cromwell marched through the town after a battle, when he also rested under the yew at Norton Bavant [Cromwell’s Yew]. Manley concludes by saying that Cromwell Gardens is shown as “Ludlow’s Court on maps of 1886-87.”
