Hi Helen:

You could try the Wiltshire.gov site.  It has quite a lot of information (and old maps and photos) of many Wiltshire locations.  It's a while since I used it, though, so I can't remember what you have to click on - sorry!  It may well be worth exploring though - lots of Wiltshire background.

You could also go to Google, Images, and put in the name of each village ?

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.
I've just taken a look at The Geograph Site and have found all the villages I needed, I'm just wondering how I managed to miss this site before, It's brilliant.  Thanks Ricky.
