Ground
Malmesbury Victoria play their home games at the Flying Monk Ground, Gloucester Road, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, SN16 9JS.

“I saw young Harry with his beaver on,
His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed,
Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury,
And vaulted with such ease into his seat
As if an angel dropped down from the clouds
To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus,
And witch the world with noble horsemanship.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The future is just as much a condition of the present as is the past. “What shall be and must be is the ground of that which is.””
