Victor Strode Manley in Volume 8 of his Regional Survey of the Warminster District, compiled in the 1920s and 1930s, refers to a gold legend associated with Battlesbury Hill, Warminster.
On page 650 Manley noted:
Gold Legends, tradition of a gold table or chair.
Battlesbury – A resident of the Furlong in 1928 told me he had often heard of a gold table (not chair) being buried here.
And on page 654 Manley noted:
Battlesbury. 10 June 1928. Mr. Bazley, junior, of Boreham Farm, told me of a folk-tale of a gold chair buried here. I have asked for more details.
