HOLT, lately a village, now a town, in Wiltshire, in the hundred of Bradford. It has grown up rapidly from opening a mineral spring of slightly sulphureous water, which, with the establishment of suitable accommodations, has attracted many scrofulous patients. It is a chapelry within the parish of Bradford. The inhabitants amounted in 1811 to 1812, in 1821 to 2415, and in 1831 to 2519.
