September 1993

Danny Howell writes:

The Heytesbury/Knook parish boundary marker which was given to the Warminster Dewey Museum in 1993 by the Highways Department of Wiltshire County Council has been returned to them.

The Warminster History Society, which oversees the Warminster Dewey Museum, had not accessioned it but Graham Zebedee had given it an undercoat as the first stage of conservation.

It transpired that the marker is a Grade II listed monument and should have remained in situ.

Danny Howell had received phone calls about it from the County Council and the Department of the Environment requesting its return.

The Highways Department have reinstated the marker, where it was before, adjacent the road outside Bunter’s Cottage, on the brow of Unicorn Hill at Heytesbury.
