Want to know a little more about Trowbridge?
Trowbridge has been the County Town of Wiltshire since 1889. The town itself has been a permanent settlement since the 7th century! Whilst its official population at the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 was just 100 people, it now has a population of over 45,000 - a seriously significant town.
Once an Anglosaxon castle town, then for many centuries a hub for the great cloth industry, Trowbridge still retains an eclectic mix historic buildings. I love that on so many streets you can find a mix of complete different styles and centuries of architecture represented.
As was said in 1540 by John Leland, Trowbridge "is very well builded of stone" and this legacy hides today in plain sight - I have tried to reflect as many of these gorgeous buildings as possible in this new illustrated Trowbridge tea towel and Trowbridge illustrated town map, to capture and retain what makes Trowbridge so special.
