Burbage buildings [3]
Now a private house, this Wesleyan Methodist church, number 81 High Street, was built in 1907 and replaced an 1822 chapel at Eastcourt. The church closed in 1996. Constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings under a slate roof.
Burbage is a village in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire, it lies about 5½ miles southeast of Marlborough and some 15½ miles west of Newbury. The narrow village High Street was the main north to south road from Marlborough to Andover (A346) until a bypass was built to the west in 1991. Settlement can be traced back to the Neolithic period, and Bronze Age artefacts have been found. Burbage is now essentially a commuter village.
