Everleigh, Wiltshire

Everleigh, pronounced and also sometimes spelt Everley, is a village and civil parish in east Wiltshire, England, about 4+1⁄2 miles (7 km) southeast of the town of Pewsey, towards the northeast of Salisbury Plain.By the 13th century there was a deer park and a rabbit warren, and later activities included hare coursing, falconry and racehorse training.Sir Francis made changes to the village layout around 1811, removing buildings which stood close to the manor house and diverting the road away from it.[3][5] The Manor House was once a holding area for the prisoners during the Bloody Assizes with trials held by Judge Jeffreys in 1685.In 1951 the west wing was named the David Bruce Laboratory, and by this time the site was used by the Royal Army Medical Corps; the house and grounds were bought by the War Office in 1954.
