Dist:0.2km<br/>On the road to East Tytherton. Maud Heath was a childless widow who made her fortune carrying eggs to the market in Chippenham. When she died in 1474 she left land and houses "in the sum of eight pounds a year for ever" to be laid out on a causeway from Wick Hill to Chippenham Clift.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Now almost part of the folklore of this area, Maud Heath lived in medieval times, and in 1474 made a bequest of land in order to build and maintain a causeway through the Avon marshes to Chippenham. Fragments of this causeway are still visible, principally at Kellaways.
