Just a gorgeous view of the Malmesbury Abbey, you can imagine it, centuries ago, being a place so visible in the landscape with much fewer buildings!

Amazingly the abbey has a written history covering 1300 years. Although today little of the monastic complex remains visible, extensive buried remains will survive and the monument is important as a site with early origins and which continued in use as a monastic house until its dissolution in 1535.

Although the building is early 19th century, the turnpike it served, the Swindon, Calne and Cricklade Roads, were turnpiked from 1790 until 1879. The original name of the gatehouse was Collins Lane Gate and there would have been a gate or other barrier across the road. The tolls payable went towards maintaining the road.
