SU0857 : Marden buildings [4] by Michael Dibb
The Millstream public house was formerly known as The Triple Crown. Constructed of red brick under a tile roof. There is another image of the building at SU0857 : Marden buildings [3].
Marden is a small village in Wiltshire, on the southern edge of the Vale of Pewsey, about 5½ miles southeast of Devizes and some 18½ miles northwest of Andover. Just north of the village, the Hatfield Earthworks are a large, irregular henge enclosure, within which lies a second Neolithic henge and mound, constructed around 2400 BC. The village was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Originally an agricultural village, most working residents of Marden now commute.

TQ7433 : Main track in Bedgebury Forest by Marathon
The Bedgebury Estate was bought by the government in 1919 for the Forestry Commission who, in conjunction with Kew Gardens, undertook the relocation of Kew's conifer collection to Bedgebury. The partnership ended in 1965 when Kew Gardens decided to concentrate on developing Wakehurst Place as their rural outpost. The Great Storm of October 1987 destroyed one third of Bedgebury's tree collection. After around 2005, development of cycling routes and an increasing focus on adventure activities began.

The house was built in 1688 and enlarged in the 19th century. The house was not needed by the Forestry Commission and was sold to the Church Education Corporation who used it as a girls' boarding school from 1920 until 2006. It is now occupied by the Bell Bedgebury International School.

Hedgingford Wood is on the left which is part of Bedgebury Forest.
