he earliest sign of human habitation is the Marlborough Mound, a 62-foot-high (19 m) prehistoric tumulus in the grounds of Marlborough College. Recent radiocarbon dating has found it to date from about 2400 BC.[4] It is of similar age to the larger Silbury Hill about 5 miles (8.0 km) west of the town. Legend has it that the Mound is the burial site of Merlin[5] and that the name of the town comes from Merlin's Barrow. More plausibly, the town's name possibly derives from the medieval term for chalky ground "marl"—thus, "town on chalk".[6] However more recent research, from geographer John Everett-Heath, identifies the original Anglo-Saxon place name as Merleberge, with a derivation from either the personal name of Mærle combined with beorg (hill), or meargealla beorg: hill where gentian grows.[7] On John Speed's map of Wiltshire (1611), the town's name is recorded as Marlinges boroe. The town's motto is Ubi nunc sapientis ossa Merlini ("Where now are the bones of wise Merlin").
Further evidence of human occupation comes from the discovery in St Margaret's Mead of the Marlborough Bucket, an Iron Age burial bucket made of fir wood with three iron hoops, a top bar and two handles; it also sports bronze bands decorated with human heads and mythical animals, and is now on display at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes.[8]
Roman remains and the large Mildenhall Hoard of coins have been found two miles to the east of Marlborough, at Mildenhall (Cunetio). A later Saxonsettlement grew up around The Green and two early river crossings were made at Isbury Lane and Stonebridge Lane.
In 1067 William the Conqueror assumed control of the Marlborough area and set about building a wooden motte-and-bailey castle, sited on the prehistoric mound. This was completed in around 1100. Stone was used to strengthen the castle in around 1175. The first written record of Marlborough dates from the Domesday Book in 1087. William also established a mint in Marlborough, which coined the William I and the early William II silver pennies. The coins display the name of the town as Maerlebi or Maerleber.
There are a number of public platforms which you can use to live stream a funeral – YouTube and Facebook being just two examples. Alternatively, you could consider enlisting the help of a professional service. Some crematoriums offer this service and can make arrangements for your live video from start to finish, allowing you to focus on family members during what is sure to be a difficult time.
When planning to live stream funerals, there are a few considerations to ensure a smooth experience for family and friends:
Equipment needed. Watching a live stream is an audio-visual experience, so the equipment used must be able to capture both video and sound. A smartphone will do the trick in a pinch, however the stream will likely be low-resolution and audio may not be high quality.
Which platform to use? Live video feeds are user friendly and accessible for people anywhere with an internet connection. Vimeo, YouTube or Facebook Live are all public options, but you may wish to use a professional service for a private stream.
Recording. It’s important to ensure the recording is being monitored and everything is working as planned – the last thing you need is a poor-quality stream, or worse, forgetting to hit the record button.
Sharing with loved ones. Making sure friends and family have access to the links and information they need ahead of time is an important think to consider. Funeral Partners offer an online donations, personal tributes and funeral notice page. This notice is a great way to communicate the details of the funeral so that your family and friends know exactly when and where it will be taking place, with any special requests from you and your family.
Keeping connected. The internet is a brilliant tool for live streaming funerals, but connection issues do sometimes arise. Please do bear in mind that this is always a possibility.
How to watch a live stream funeral service?
First off, familiarise yourself with the technology. You’ll be sent a web link ahead of time which should include a test stream to ensure you can access the live video. Make sure you have good internet signal, and check this ahead of the funeral service, so that you can be fully present and avoid technical glitches on the day. If using your mobile phone, make sure your battery is fully charged.
What are the benefits of live streaming a funeral?
Nowadays, many of us have family members and friends spread across the globe. This can make attending a funeral in person tricky, especially at short notice. Live streaming a funeral service means that people can pay their respects from anywhere in the world. Live streaming has also been increasingly popular since the pandemic as it means large gatherings are not necessary.
How much does it cost to live stream a funeral?
The cost will depend on whether you opt to enlist the help of a professional service or whether you decide to take on the responsibility of live streaming yourself.
How to live stream a funeral on Facebook
Live streaming a funeral on Facebook is certainly possible, however it may not be the best choice. Consider whether you wish to stream to all of your Facebook friends, for example. As well as this, some friends and family members will not be on Facebook, making it difficult for them to watch the funeral.
Read more about the role social media can play when a loved one passes in our guide: Announcing a death on social media.
Can everyone watch a funeral live stream?
Anyone with access to the internet can watch a funeral live stream in real time. So long as they have been sent the streaming link and have a mobile phone with an internet connection, family and friends anywhere in the world can pay their respects.
What should I wear to a funeral live stream?
Even if you’re unable to attend in person, you can still feel like part of the occasion with a funeral live stream. Wear what you’d normally wear when attending a funeral, or if there’s a dress code, feel free to take your cue from this. If you’re unsure of what to wear, please have a read of our helpful guide: What to wear to a funeral.

He also established the neighbouring Savernake Forest as a favourite royal hunting ground[9] and Marlborough castle became a Royal residence. Henry Iobserved Easter here in 1110. Henry II stayed at Marlborough castle in talks with the King of Scotland. His son, Richard I ("Coeur de Lion") gave the castle to his brother John, in 1186. King John was married here and spent time in Marlborough, where he established a Treasury.
Marlborough Market
In 1204 King John granted Charter to the Borough which permitted an annual eight-day fair, commencing on 14 August, the vigil of the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady (15 August), in which "all might enjoy the liberties and quittances customary in the fair at Winchester". He also established that weekly markets may be held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. These continue to this day.[10]
Henry III held Parliament here, in 1267, when the Statute of Marlborough was passed (this gave rights and privileges to small land owners and limited the right of the King to take possession of land). This seven-hundred-year-old law states that no-one shall seize his neighbour's goods for alleged wrong without permission of the Court. Apart from Charters, it is the oldest statute in English law which has not yet been repealed.
St Mary's parish church
The castle fell into disrepair by the end of the 14th century but remained Crown property. Edward VI then passed it to the Seymour family, his mother's relatives. In 1498 Thomas Wolsey was ordained priest in (the now redundant) St Peter's church. He later rose to become a cardinal and Lord Chancellor.
In 1642 Marlborough's peace was shattered by the English Civil War. The Seymours held the Castle for the King but the town was for Parliament. With his headquarters in nearby Oxford, King Charles had to deal with Marlborough. "A Town the most notoriously disaffected of all that Country, otherwise, saving the obstinacy and malice of the inhabitants, in the situation of it very unfit for a garrison... this place the King saw would prove quickly an ill neighbour to him, not only as it was in the heart of a rich County, and so would straighten him, and even infest his quarters."
The King sent Lord Digby to take the town who left Oxford, the head of four hundred horses, 24 November 1642. When he arrived, he chose to parley first, thus giving the inhabitants a chance to prepare defences and to recruit troops. They mustered about seven hundred poorly armed men. At this point, the town issued a reply to Digby: "The King's Majesty, providing he were attended in Royal and not in war like wise, should be as welcome to that town as ever was Prince to People; but as to delivering up the good Town of Marlborough to such a traitor as Lord Digby ... they would sooner die". After some early skirmishes, Royalist troops infiltrated the town down its small alleyways. The town was captured and looted and many buildings were set ablaze. One hundred and twenty prisoners were marched in chains to Oxford. The town was later abandoned by the King and took no further part in the war.
On 28 April 1653 the Great Fire of Marlborough started in a tanner's yard and spread quickly, eventually after four hours burning the Guildhall, St Mary's Church, the County Armoury, and 244 houses[11] to the ground.[12] This event attracted more than local attention; the parish register of Wotton under Edge, in the west of Gloucestershire, records on 9 August 1653 that 18 pounds 17 shillings and six and a half pence had been collected in the parish for the relief of the distressed inhabitants of Marlborough. During the rebuilding of the town after the Great Fire, the high street was widened and is often claimed to be the widest in England though the actual widest is in Stockton-on-Tees. This wide street allows ample space for the local market. Fire swept through the town again in 1679 and 1690. This time, an Act of Parliament was passed "to prohibit the covering of houses and other buildings with thatch in the Town of Marlborough".[13]
In 1804 the Marlborough White Horse was cut on a downland slope southwest of the town, by boys from Mr Greasley's Academy in the High Street.[14]
In 1901 and 1934 the boundaries of the borough were extended to include the hamlet of Preshute (which was separated from Preshute civil parish) and the village of Manton, both to the west of the town.[13]
In 2004 Marlborough celebrated 800 years of its Town Charter. Among the celebrations were a street play by the Marlborough Players titled Wheels of Time, and a visit from HRH Prince Charles.

A recent testimonial (more on the testimonial page )
“Planning a funeral is difficult enough especially when you are having the added pressure to film it live. Fortunately working in the video production industry myself I knew what I needed to do and when I spoke Darren I felt confident he and his team wouldn’t disappoint.
Nothing was too much trouble to organise and with a complex multi camera and screen set up required Darren pulled it together seamlessly.
On the day he and his team were respectful and professional and to the people that couldn’t be in the main church it enabled them to feel like they were part of the main service. I’d highly recommend”.

More about Funerals here, worth a read
A funeral is a ceremony connected with the final disposition of a corpse, such as a burial or cremation, with the attendant observances.[1] Funerary customs comprise the complex of beliefs and practices used by a culture to remember and respect the dead, from interment, to various monuments, prayers, and ritualsundertaken in their honor. Customs vary between cultures and religious groups. Common secular motivations for funerals include mourning the deceased, celebrating their life, and offering support and sympathy to the bereaved; additionally, funerals may have religious aspects that are intended to help the soulof the deceased reach the afterlife, resurrection or reincarnation.
The funeral usually includes a ritual through which the corpse receives a final dispositon.[2] Depending on culture and religion, these can involve either the destruction of the body (for example, by cremation or sky burial) or its preservation (for example, by mummification or interment). Differing beliefs about cleanliness and the relationship between body and soul are reflected in funerary practices. A memorial service or celebration of life is a funerary ceremony that is performed without the remains of the deceased person.[3]
The word funeral comes from the Latin funus, which had a variety of meanings, including the corpse and the funerary rites themselves. Funerary art is art produced in connection with burials, including many kinds of tombs, and objects specially made for burial like flowers with a corpse.
Funerals can be very sad times but we must also remember it’s a time to celebrate the life they had. We can help with funeral videographer, Funeral Videography any funeral videoing

One of our own stories...
I have recently gone to my uncle’s service. It was a very moving service and a celebration about his life and all the things, he had done. It was tearful but also laughter at the things he did and the way he was. He really was quite a character.
Many of my relatives could not make it to the service, some are too old to safely make it, some were not very able people and others just live in a different part of the world.
They would have loved to have watched the service later that evening the same day or the following day just so they could feel part of the love, laughter and help with closure.
We can help make that happen, We can video, edit and deliver online using the internet so you can send the link to download the film that very day or the nest day. They too can join the amazing gathering of people and the respect listen to the stories.
We don't film the committal unless asked.
We are unobtrusive and very respectful and experienced
