The Church of St Michael and all the Angels dates back in part to the Norman period, with a 16th-century nave.

[2][6] By the mid-19th century the fair had stopped attracting large crowds, as communications and business changed, reducing the variety of items for sale.

[3][4] The parish council bought the fairground after it fell into disrepair and converted it into small independent craft studios and shops in 2005.

Nearby attractions are Thruxton aerodrome and motor racing circuit to the west and the Hawk Conservancy Trust just south of the A303.

The historic Weyhill fairground was the site used by Thomas Hardy in his book The Mayor of Casterbridge where Michael Henchard sells his wife.
