The village was given by King Edward IV to the Company of Cooks in London[when?], and has since been sold into private hands.[citation needed]
The parish church is St Augustine, a Grade II* listed building. The church dates back to the 13th century, though much restored in 1863.[2] The church tower house four bells, one of which dates back to the 14th century.[3]
The village is home to Beachborough School, a private prep school established originally in Hampshire in 1910, but relocated to Westbury in 1942 in the manor house.[4]
The village has a website providing information regarding the services and events taking place in the village. www.westburyvillage.org
