Welcome to the Sutton Veny Web Site
Sutton Veny lies in the beautiful Wylye Valley between Salisbury and Bath, and is approximately 2 miles from the town of Warminster in Wiltshire. Longleat House and Safari Park are close by as well as Centre Parcs. A map is here.
The village is steeped in history and was a concentration area during the 1st World War for units going to and from France. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission has a Cemetery beside St Johns Church with Australian soldiers who died mainly from the influenza epidemic in 1918. The picture gallery here contains some wonderful postcards and photographs of the period.
