Flying over Ludgershall

No one can be certain when the first person arrived in Ludgershall and put down roots by building a
permanent dwelling. Most historians think that the origins village may be Anglo-Saxon. The
contiguous parish of Wotton is mentioned in a mid-ninth century charter but although it describes
the boundaries of that parish no mention in name is made of Ludgershall. There is also every
possibility that the Romans also had a villa within the parish although this has yet to be found.
Romans certainly used the north of the parish to push through their road from Bicester to St Albans,
and on the western boundary of the parish Roman remains have been found at Piddington.
