Thought to have been the site of the home of the Saxon King Ine (Ina) as far back as 688-728 AD, Everleigh boasts some impressive royal connections over later centuries too, being owned by the crown during the reigns of Henry VI, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Mary Queen of Scots is said to have visited in secret whilst under house arrest at Tutbury Castle, under the care of Sir Ralph Sadleir. Sir Ralph, a prominent Tudor courtier and chief falconer was granted the house by Elizabeth I. He was proclaimed to be the 'wealthiest commoner in England' when he died in 1587. Sir John Astley acquired Everleigh Manor in 1764 and the Astley family resided there until the mid-19th century. The Palladian buildings in place today are Georgian, dated to around 1770, with some of the earlier structures thought to have been incorporated. A fire in 1881 destroyed much of the interiors and there was substantial rebuilding work carried out in 1882. Requisitioned by the army in 1939, Everleigh was initially in use as a hospital and latterly as a centre for producing vaccines for troops. It passed back into private ownership in the 1990s, and was acquired by the current owners in 1999, who undertook a total renovation.LocationThe village of Everleigh lies in some of the UK's most delightful countryside. The wide, open spaces of Salisbury Plain are close at hand, and offer numerous sporting opportunities. The nearby village of Pewsey offers a wide range of shops and amenities including a supermarket, garage and of course Pewsey railway station, with direct services to London Paddington taking around 1hr. The city of Salisbury and the towns of Marlborough and Devizes are all within reasonable driving distance, as is the A303 for road access to the capital and the Westcountry.The area has excellent schooling at both primary and secondary levels, with a range of options including St. Francis Primary, Dauntsey's School and Marlborough College in the independent sector in addition to a range of state sector facilities at all levels.
