In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bannerdown like this:
BANNERDOWN, a tract containing the meeting point of Wilts, Gloucester, and Somerset. The point is 1¼ mile NW of the Box tunnel of the Great Western railway, and 4¾ miles W of Corsham. It was marked, for upwards of a century, by three small stones; but is marked now by a cromlech, set up in 1858.
Bannerdown is now part of BATH AND NORTH EAST SOMERSET Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how BATH AND NORTH EAST SOMERSET has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Bannerdown itself, go to Statistics.
