Wilfred Middlebrook, in The Changing Face Of Warminster, first written in 1960, updated in 1971, noted:
Across Boreham Road from Prestbury Drive is another new estate that now opens up the way into Woodcock Road – the Highbury Park estate. Highbury was the home for many years of the late Major Teichman, but the house, now the head offices of the West Wilts Water Board, was built on the site of an old coaching inn called the Rising Sun. Coaches called here after passing through the nearby turnpike at Holly Lodge. The Eacott family owned this property in days gone by, with lands stretching back as far as the present railway, but with the decline of the coaching era the landlord got behind with his beer payments, and the land and property got into the hands of the brewers. Frank Morgan the brewer pulled down the old inn and built the present Highbury House, but the Eacott family name is still recalled by older inhabitants of Warminster. Chancery Lane, which borders the property on the western side and also leads to Woodcock, is still known by them as Eacott’s Lane. Maybe even this later appellation of Chancery Lane is the result of the unfortunate ending of the Eacott family fortunes.
