The charter may not be genuine, and Everleigh may be misidentified, but at face value this evidence suggests that ‘the wood or clearing of the wild boar’, which is the meaning of the name, was of interest to royalty quite early in the Saxon period.
Medieval Everleigh, despite its downland position entirely on upper chalk, practised the normal sheep and corn husbandry, although it had little meadowland and – without a river – no watermill (a windmill, west of the village, was in use until the nineteenth century).
Everleigh lay on a formerly important north–south route, the Old Marlborough Road, which in 1675 was reckoned to link Salisbury with the Cotswolds, and which appears to overlie a Roman road, or Romanized prehistoric trackway.
