		Avebury photos of Avebury, Wiltshire, England 58 of 67 Avebury village. View of the village from West Kennet Avenue; Church of Saint James, centre left.   Church of Saint James The Red Lion Pub The Lodge The Domesday Book (1086), the survey of England commissioned by the first Norman king William the Conqueror, mentions Avebury (as “Averi-berie”) for the first time and lists the church, now called Saint James, which is thought to have been built in the 11th century before the Norman conquest. The nave and two windows from this period can still be seen in the church. The free-standing stone font of the church is also thought to be Saxon, although the carvings decorating it are Norman. The church also boasts a Norman doorway. text and photos: © David John photo: © David John photos of Avebury: Swallowhead Springs West Kennet Long Barrow Silbury Hill West Kennet Avenue Avebury Henge Avebury village Marlborough White Horse Swindon sunset < page 1: introduction to Avebury Copyright © 2003-2012 My Favourite Planet  |  contributors  |  impressum  |  index of contents  |  sitemap
