I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Aldbourne has a long and varied history. There are signs of activity in the area from the mesolithic period onwards (from 10,000 to 4,000 BC). Occupation in the village area dates from at least the early Romano-British period.
The 12th-century church of St Michael's stands on a low rise at one end of the elongated village green in Aldbourne, creating a picture-postcard scene of an English countryside village idyll. Period cottages line the green, and a cosy pub looks out past an old preaching cross towards the church.
It is a lovely building of some considerable size. Much of what one can see today dates from the 13th to the 15th centuries and is in a Gothic style, but there are parts of a Norman church incorporated in the current building.
There has been a church on this site since before the Domesday Book. There are bits of Norman decorative stonework in the south doorway arch and further stonework inside the church. The Wiltshire Community History project suggests that there was a wooden church here as early as 966 AD, and a church is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.
TV fans and those with an interest in military WW2 history may recognise the name of the village as home to “The Band of Brothers” - Easy Company were stationed at Aldbourne and were immortalised in Stephen Spielberg's hit American TV series
