About Malborough - show infohide info

Marlborough is a market town in the county of Wiltshire, lying on the Old Bath Road, between London and Bath, which is now the A4. A mound in the grounds of Marlborough College appears to provide evidence that the town has been inhabited since pre-historic times. An Iron-age burial bucket has been found nearby, made from bronze and decorated with images of human heads and animals. During the Roman Occupation of Britain, the Roman's inhabited nearby Mildenhall. After the Roman Legions were recalled, a Saxon settlement grew up around the Green, and two early river crossings were made at Isbury Lane and Stonebridge Lane. In 1067, William I took control of the land around Marlborough. He also had a castle based on the Motte and Bailey design, first made from wood, but it was later updated with stone in 1175. William I also established a mint in the town, which coined the last 6 types of William I, and the first of the William II silver pennies. William I favoured the local forest for his Royal hunting ground, and so the castle in the town was frequently used as a Royal residence. In 1204, a market charter was granted for markets to be held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Fairs were also held, and Marlborough still sees an annual festival. Today, the castle no longer exists. The castle fell into disrepair by the end of the 14th century, though remained property of the Crown. On April 28th 1653 The Great Fire of Marlborough burnt two hundred and fifty houses to the ground. Fire swept through the Town in 1679 and again in 1690. This time an Act of Parliament was passed "To prohibit the covering of houses and other buildings with thatch in the Town of Marlborough". The town now has a population of just over 8000 inhabitants. The markets are still held in accordance with the original charter. The town is probably best known for being home to the famous Marlborough College public school, which houses up to 800 pupils. A number of distinctive names have attended the school over the years since it was founded in 1843. The formerly had two rail lines serving it, however today neither of these exist. But the nearby village of Great Bedwyn does see frequent services to London Paddington and Reading. Buses link Marborough to the station at Bedwyn. Bedwyn is a terminus for trains from London and Reading; for trains to the West, passengers must first travel east and change at Newbury. Nearby towns to Marlborough include Swindon, Chippenham, Devizes, Newbury, Reading, Basingstoke and Abingdon.
