Chaddleworth Vicarage (the old one) where Michael and Elizabeth Pooley used to live was built by the Rev W Booty in 1832 and was enlarged during the Incumbancy of the Rev Rust who found it too small for his large family and the school that he ran.
The house used to have a well but that was filled in after the 1914-1918 war when water was laid on in the village (an important date as it eased the burden of the ‘ local Water Carriers’). The Manor of Chaddleworth was given by William the Conqueror to Robert D’Oilly. It then reverted back to the Crown (date unknown), it then became the property of Eleanor the wife of Edward the 1st. In 1283 it was given to the Priory Amesbury (Ambresbury as was in those days) in Wiltshire. When ‘good old’ Henry the Eighth dissolved the Monasteries it was granted to William Sharington Esq, Groom of the Priory Chamber who sold it in 1554 to Henry Brounker Esq whose heir (another Henry) sold it to William Nelson Esq, Chief Prothonary of the Court of Common Pleas (now there’s a mouthful!)
