The village of Wroughton is just to the south of Swindon, the M4 motorway just about keeping the ever growing Swindon at bay.   The village has changed enormously and has had many new houses built, but stills remains, essentially, a village.   According to John Jackson, previously it has been known as Worston or Werston, and in the Sarum Registers as Elingdon Wroughton; but the most ancient name appears to be Ellan-dun - 'Hill of Ella'.

John Aubrey wrote:   "The land of this parish is admirable pasture, and the tract hereabout is the garden of Wilts."   Quite ironic as the piece of land that separates Wroughton from Swindon is known locally as the Front Garden and has been the cause for dispute as developers want to build housing on it, destroying the beautiful landscape.
