It has a long history going back to medieval times and beyond
Malmesbury, a small yet vibrant market town in Wiltshire, holds the title of England's oldest borough and was once the nation's capital. While London is now synonymous with being England's capital, this wasn't always the case.
During the English Civil War, Malmesbury became a key battleground and the south face of its abbey still bears scars from a battle that tore through the town. However, post-1640s, the town faced economic decline as transport and trade routes shifted towards the coast. Emma from Coffee#1 Malmesbury's described Malmesbury as a "lovely place" where "everybody is so friendly and everybody knows everybody". She added: "You can tell when people have been to the area how in awe they are of it. Obviously, we've got the abbey which is beautiful and the Old Bell which is the oldest hotel in England," reports the Express.
