Derry Hill history

---

Derry Hill has grown out of the ancient settlement of Studley. In the 18th century, there were several small settlements along the London to Bristol road, near the north-west corner of Bowood House Park. The village traditionally provided houses for the Bowood estate workers. The estate’s Christ Church has helped the village develop in the early 19th century. The main development has taken place since the early-1970s, when a new housing estate was built in the fields to the north of village.

Derry Hill geography / climate

Derry Hill lies to the south of the A4 road, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east of Chippenham and 3 miles (4.8 km) to the west of Calne. The old London to Bristol road turned left after the Soho Inn, along what is now the village’s Church Road, to join the Devizes road. The modern section of the road, avoiding the descent, was built between 1787 and 1810.
