Welcome to the Amesbury History Alliance Website

​

The Amesbury History Alliance has an amorphous identity, this website is intended to provide a platform which offers an opportunity for internet publication of research, for those with a particular interest in the history of the town of Amesbury and its environs. The geographical area of interest is variable but research must have a visible connection to the town. For example, the Amesbury Hundred, the medieval area of local jurisdiction and administration, and its contiguous equivalents, are suggested as a starting point.

​

To promote new research of the lesser known and understood periods of the history of the town and the local area of the last 2000 years. 

​

This website has no affiliation to any other organisation. The research published here remains the intellectual property of the author, and research may not be reproduced or used for any other purpose without the permission of the author.

​

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