Description

The former town wall in Malmesbury dates back to the early 12th century, with later rebuilding. It is constructed of coursed, squared limestone rubble. At the north end, there is a 4-metre section likely from the mid 17th century, which may have been part of the Civil War defences or a community rebuild following demolition in 1646. The south end features a section rebuilt in mid 20th century concrete block, alongside an approximately 16-metre medieval section built on a natural limestone outcrop. At the junction of these sections is a former icehouse, probably from the 17th century, made of coursed and squared blocks. Additionally, at the south end of this section, a later wall extends at right angles to the river. The main part of the wall continues southward and is finished with a length in 18th century Flemish bond brick.
