Victor Strode Manley, in his Regional Survey Of Warminster And District, compiled in the 1920s and 1930s, referring to place names, noted:
Rehobath, between Warminster Common (Broadway) and Cannimore. Of doubtful origin. If ancient, it is a Bot- or Beth- name. See Battlesbury. Beth means ‘saored stone’ and in the field opposite on the Bugley footpath is a sarsen stone (my photo). Prehistoric. Also at least three other sarsens at Broadway and the large one at Nutball not far off making five sarsens in the vicinity which supports a genuine Beth- theory and not a modern name. Ra = sun. beth = house. Cornish both-el = a sarsen stone.
