The buddleia growing at the back of the Assize Court has some fans! The butterflies love it.

@HistoricEngland have just published the 2022 Heritage at Risk Register. Working hard with @WiltshireMuseum behind the scenes to one day remove the Assize Court from the Register.

Excellent, fascinating object that deserves to be better known for its stories. I literally live just round the corner from find spot but was barely aware of it.
I think the county site record may be a bit off, see map from Reb’s great feature in the new British Archaeology 1/2

[Wiltshire Museum @WiltshireMuseum]

Lovely to meet the group. Thanks so much for your time :)
