Chippenham is a market town in north-west Wiltshire, 13 miles north-east of Bath and close to the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It grew up at a crossing of the River Avon, with the southern Cotswolds to its north and west, the Marlborough Downs to its east and Salisbury Plain to its south-east.
Under Alfred the Great the town was a royal estate. Danish Vikings besieged it in 878, and later that year, after Alfred beat them at the Battle of Ethandun, they surrendered to him here. The wool trade grew from the 16th century, and once the Great Western Railway arrived in 1841 the town became a centre for dairy and ham products and for railway engineering.
In the centre, the timber-framed Yelde Hall was built as a market hall around 1450, and the stone Buttercross of about 1570, moved to Castle Combe in 1889, was brought back in 1995 to stand in the pedestrianised centre. St Andrew's church keeps Norman features and a spire finished in 1633. Woods such as Bird's Marsh and Vincients Wood lie in or near the town, and stone villages including Lacock, Biddestone and Castle Combe surround it.
Chippenham station, with buildings and arches by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is on the Great Western Main Line, with trains to London Paddington, Swindon, Bristol, Cardiff and Penzance, and a route through Melksham to Westbury. The M4 is 4 miles north, the A350 bypasses the town to the west, and the A4 crosses its southern part, linking it with Corsham, Calne and Bath.
