I came across this and thought others might find it of interest, some of the facts seem a little out but may be the result of keying in the data - for example:
"The village, which contains few houses of interest, straggles down half a mile of a lane running south from the Highworth road. The church of St. Giles lies back from the road near the southern extremity, the school being further north. A little beyond is the Independent chapel, built in 1875. The reading room was opened in 1801, the site having been given by the late the Hon. Duncombe Pleydell-Bouverie."
For 1801 we can read 1901, the description otherwise seems a little harsh.
There is a long description of the Church and the local name Webb crops up a couple of time.
If you have anything to add, let me know at [email protected].
