Pub Visit - The Reindeer Inn (Westbury) & Westbury History

Jenn and I went to The Reindeer Inn in Westbury for dinner. Steak and Ale Pie was the order of the day. It was time to try pub food.

We took a walk around Westbury before eating. It was very small. The homes all seemed to have names and there was one thatched-roof house on the main street.

St. Augustine's (COE) is the church in the village. It is an old church with a cemetery around it's grounds. I am not sure of the age of the building but it appears that the parish has existed there since the 1200's and parish records exist going back to 1558. Pictures of the church can be viewed at 1, 2, and 3. According to the English Heritage Website, the parish dates to the 13th Century and is classified as a grade II (historical grading?)
