The now quiete Wiltshire village was once the capital of the Saxon kingdom of Wessex. As with it Devonshire counterpart, Axminster, 'Wilton' is synonimous with quality carpets, an industry which dates back to the 17th century. Wilton Royal Carpets run guided tours around the carpet factory.
The church was built in 1844 in an Italian Romanesque style.
Wilton house, the home of the Earl of Pembroke, is one of England's great stately homes. It conatins paintings by Rembrant and Van Dyck.
A hill some 1/2 a mile to the east of the village crowned by Winton Windmill, the exterior of which may be viewed at any time, but the interior is only open to visitors on Sundays and Bank Holidays between April and September.
