In this month’s issue we have an autumnal feel to the magazine.

A new book reveals inside story of Salisbury’s iconic alehouse, The Haunch of Vension, including its reputation for ghostly goings on. Several works by Thomas Hardy were influenced by his sisters’ time spent in the county, we follow their story; In the first of a new series on the county’s almshouses, we discover more about their founders, heritage, and role in the 21st century.

From Texas to Malmesbury - we meet Kim and Whit Hanks, the new owners of The Old Bell Hotel; Grant Berry from Yapp Brothers Wine Merchants reveals who really put the fizz into wine; Garden designer Sophie Butcher looks at jobs to get on with in October and shares details of the renowned Devizes Bee & Honey Day and Jocelyn Weeks from Wessex Auction Rooms takes a look at furniture making a fashionable come-back.
