Easton Grey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Easton Grey is a village in Wiltshire, England. It is on the B4040 road between Malmesbury and Sherston.

The village has a 16th-century bridge over the River Avon.[1] Overlooking the bridge is a manor house dating from the 13th century that was a favourite resort of Herbert Asquith during his premiership, and subsequently developed an association with the then Prince of Wales. The Church of England parish church was rebuilt in 1836.[1]

Within the parish is the 2 Michelin starred Whatley Manor hotel and restaurant.[2]
