Maud Heath Monument at Kellaways, Langley Burrell

Maud Heath, who owned land and houses both in Langley Burrell and in Chippenham, was concerned that the people of Bremhill, Foxham, Tytherton and the Langley area had a difficult passage through marshy and flooded land to Chippenham Market. On 12th June 1474 she made a deed of gift of land and houses worth £8 in rents per year to a trust to build a causeway from Wick in Bremhill to Chippenham. This 4.5 mile causeway of cobblestones passed over land at Kellaways that was a swamp during the winter months.

In 1698 the Maud Heath Trust erected the 12 foot high monument by the river at Kellaways. This features a three faced block sundial with Latin inscriptions.
