Damask Farm, Warminster

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 Damask Farm in his list, giving its location as “Upper Marsh Road” and saying it [presumably the farmhouse] was “built by Dr Alcock.” Manley concludes by asking “Was it the demesne or home farm of Sambourne Manor at some time?”
