History
The place-name 'Almondsbury' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Almodesberie. The name means 'Æthelmod's or Ealhmund's burgh or fortified place'.
The local church, dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin, was built in 1140 AD. The lead-covered spire was added to the original tower some time before 1619.
In 1817, a woman purporting to be Princess Caraboo was found in the town, in what was to become one of the more elaborate deceptions of the period.
