Dist:0.8km<br/>To its villagers Colerne is known as ‘the village on the hill’ and this sums up both its position and much of its history. The parish lies on an upland spur of land with the valley of the By Brook to the south and east and a scarp slope to the north where the land drops steeply to North Wraxall. Much of the parish lies on limestone with Great Oolitic limestone in the north, which has been used for much of the local building. In the south, where the land falls away below the village, is an area of sands, rubbly limestone and some clay. Traditionally the higher land was used for sheep-rearing with corn and root crops grown on the lower. The above was copied from: http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getcom.php?id=65 where you will find much more.
