    Purton Facts – Did you know…

    1. Early Movers
      Signs of the first people moving to Purton are an Iron Age hill fort, Ringsbury Camp, dating from around 50 BCE.
    2. Doomed!
      At the time of the Domesday book in 1086, Purton consisted of 20 villagers, 12 smallholders, 13 cottagers, 5 slaves, 1 burgess, a mill and an annual value of 5 shillings.
    3. Fiiight!
      Place names such as Battlewell, Battle Lake and Battlelake Farm suggest Purton might have been close to the site of a battle but during which conflict is unknown.
    4. Uncivil
      The area was certainly well travelled by both Parliamentary and Royalist troops during the English Civil War. It was also on the front line between the kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia when the Anglo-Saxons were defending against Viking invaders.
    5. Fancy Seeing You Here!
      Two famous faces to have come from Purton are actress and singer Billie Piper (Dr Who) and zoologist and author Desmond Morris (The Naked Ape).
    6. Lady in the Chapel
      In 1872 the church of St Mary was undergoing refurbishment at a cost of £2,500, quite a sum for the time. During the work, a walled-up chapel was uncovered that contained the mysterious skeleton of a woman.
    7. Purton Waters
      For centuries locals had drunk the water from a local site known as ‘The Salt Hole’ which they believed to have curative powers. Local doctors and landowners debunked the claims until Dr Samuel Sadler bought the land and opened ‘Purton Spa’. Whether he really believed in the waters or saw the wealth of cities like Bath and Harrogate are open to debate.
    8. Second World War
      During WWII the area had to prepare against a much-feared German invasion. Purton was in an area that formed the ‘Red Line’, anti-tank defences and traps to halt enemy vehicles. RAF Blakehill Farm was used as a command station and US troops were stationed in the area.

    With close proximity to the shops, amenities of nearby Swindon and easy access to the M4 motorway, plenty of beautiful houses, surrounded by stunning countryside it’s easy to see why this idyllic corner of Wiltshire is much sought-after.
