Local historian Harold Nelson Dewey, J.P., (born 1888, died 1971), who served on Warminster Urban District Council for 49 years (from 1919 to 1968) and was its Chairman on three occasions, as well as being the Headmaster of the Avenue School from 1931 (when the school was built) until 1953 (when he retired), in an address given to the Warminster Chamber Of Trade in December 1949, said that some people might remember when the name of Ludlow’s Yard was changed to Cromwell Gardens. He went on to say that Cromwell, as far as he knew, had no connection with the neighbourhood, but Ludlow, a name of very great note in English history, had a definite connection with the town. He added that the name was still commemorated at Bradley Road, being the name of a farm there: Ludlow’s Farm.
