Writing in 1932, Victor Strode Manley, as part of his Regional Survey Of Warminster And District, wrote the following note concerning Sutton Veny:
The track over Whiten Hill to Lord’s Hill (Shaftesbury road) is scarcely perceptible across the downland grass.
The cross roads run along the valley, (i) From Warminster to Salisbury along the south side of the Wylye stream, (ii) From the Salisbury road north of the Wylye, along the Deverill Valley, to Bruton.
