Wilfred Middlebrook, in The Changing Face Of Warminster, first written in 1960, updated in 1971, noted:
There are many pleasant walks from Henford Marsh [Warminster], a favourite one in days gone by being “Up the Leg and down the Stocking” – you turned right through the stile and continued up the field through the wood, then doubled back at the top of the ridge and came down to the marsh again by the Bishopstrow lane [Eastleigh Lane / Eastleigh Wood Lane]. Alternatively, the Sutton Veny-Crockerton road can be crossed at the top of the wood and the beautiful Southleigh Woods explored.
