King Athelstan is buired in Malmesbury Abbey (pictured) Plans to install a statue of Athelstan, the first king of England in Malmesbury have been submitted. The Athelstan First King of All England Trust, which is heading up the project, has sought to place the 11-foot bronze statue and plinth in the beating heart of Malmesbury. Working with the Abbey and Heritage England the trust said if planning permission is granted it will be able to raise funds for build and place the statue in Birdcage Walk. Barbara Pollard, who is leading the charity said: “This is a very special location because King Athelstan, who established England as a single nation and who is buried in Malmesbury Abbey, became attached to Malmesbury through his admiration from the Abbey’s first Abbot and his kinsman Aldhelm.
