Relates the history of the 15 parishes in Kinwardstone hundred in east Wiltshire. The hundred lay between two medieval royal forests, Savernake and Chute. Each of 45 villages and hamlets in it had its own set of open fields and its own common pasture, and there is evidence of colonization from some of the larger villages.
This volume gives the history of 15 rural parishes in east Wiltshire, an area of fertile farmland, small villages, and some notable nineteenth-century churches.
