Wilfred Middlebrook, in The Changing Face Of Warminster, first written in 1960, updated in 1971, noted:
Another facet of this changing face of Warminster is to be found at Alcock Crest, now also leading to a new housing estate (called Hill View during construction) now being built behind and alongside the hospital. This estate perpetuates the “Bishop of Warminster Common” with the name of Daniell Crest.
Alcock Crest has already been mentioned, and there is a tablet across the road from this new entry that is inscribed as follows: ‘This estate was named Alcock Crest to commemorate the gift to the town in 1911 by Charles Alcock, M.A., Ph.D., Headmaster of Lord Weymouth’s Grammar School from 1865 to 1895. Of the 3.358 acres of land on which Nos.1 to 22 and 84 to 101 now stand, for the use of the Pound Street Recreation Ground. In substitution for which a field adjacent to Fore Street below was laid out in 1950 and is now dedicated for ever as a children’s pleasure ground.’
