Welcome to the Amesbury History Alliance Website

 

The Amesbury History Alliance provides a dedicated platform for the publication of original, well-researched historical studies connected to the town of Amesbury and its surrounding landscapes. Its purpose is specific: to support new research, particularly in the lesser-documented periods of the past 2,000 years, and to foster a deeper understanding of local history.

​​

We welcome contributions from researchers at all stages, provided they engage rigorously and respectfully with the shared aim of illuminating Amesbury's historical tapestry.

​

Submissions should demonstrate a clear and evidenced connection to Amesbury—whether through themes, geography, or archival sources. Regions such as the Amesbury Hundred and its historically contiguous jurisdictions serve as suggested points of reference. 

​​

The platform is entirely independent and unaffiliated with any organization. All published work remains the sole intellectual property of the author. No reproduction, citation, or adaptation is permitted without explicit permission.

​

​The term 'Ambresbyrig' has been chosen as a label because it is the earliest name of the town that has been identified - so far! The name dates from the Saxon period.
