    Wilton Facts – Did you know…

    1. Wiltunscire
      The town was much loved by Alfred the Great. It was more important than its smaller neighbour Salisbury. Alfred founded Wilton Abbey and made the town the county capital of Wiltunscire.
    2. A Right Herbert
      Henry the VIII destroyed the abbey, giving the estate to Sir Henry Herbert. Sir Henry even married Anne Parr, sister of Catherine, Henry VIII’s last wife, making him brother-in-law of the King.
    3. Move It
      Wilton is just a few minutes from one of Armishaws’ main depots, used by both our Wilton removals teams and for short and long term removal storage.
    4. Carpets
      In 1721, having seen high quality carpets in France, the owner of Wilton House employed two Frenchmen to teach locals how to weave carpets. Wilton carpets became world renowned.
    5.  Smuggled
      The French weavers were Huguenots, forced to flee France for their religious beliefs, they were smuggled to England in wine barrels.
    6. Camouflage
      During WWII the carpet factories were used to manufacture camouflage, webbing, kitbags and tarpaulins for the Allied troops.
    7. Battle of Wilton I
      In 871 King Alfred the Great was forced to flee when his small force met the entire Viking army. Alfred went into hiding in the Somerset Marshes.
    8. Battle of Wilton II
      In July 1143 during The Anarchy King Stephen mustered his forces at the abbey but again a king was on the losing side and forced to flee. The abbey was burnt to the ground.
