Axford, Wiltshire

Axford is a small village in Ramsbury parish in the English county of Wiltshire.

It lies on the north bank of the River Kennet, about 3 miles (4.8 km) south-west of Ramsbury village and the same distance east of Marlborough.

[1] During the 15th and 16th centuries, Axford manor was centred on Priory Farm a short distance from the village itself.

The majority of housing was built to the south of the main road through the village; the area to the north was developed during the late 18th and early 19th century.

[2] St Michael's church was built in 1856 to designs of William White, as a chapel of ease to Holy Cross at Ramsbury.
