The Old Town Hall Royal Wootton Bassett


Royal Wootton Bassett, informally known as Wootton Bassett, is a small market town and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, with a population of 11,043 in 2001. Situated in the north of the county, it lies 6 miles ( km) to the southwest of the major town of Swindon. The town was granted royal patronage in March 2011 by Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of its role in the early 21st century military funeral repatriations, which passed through the town. This honour was officially conferred in a ceremony on 16 October 2011 - the first royal patronage to be conferred to a town (as distinguished from a borough or county) since 1909.
