Please could someone with local knowledge let me know what villages would have looked to Wroughton parish church.

Thanks in advance.

Hello imt

The answer is none.  However there is a single lane called Elcombe, although this is classed as being Wroughton also.   

Don't know if this is the information you want.

Thanks, Ewan.  I know Elcombe and Wroughton villages are lumped together but I wondered if any of the other outlying villages would be included in the parish for church affairs.

A bit more information if it helps.

Elcombe is between Wroughton and Bassett Down.
Bassett Down is just west of Elcombe and part of it would of looked to Wroughton church.

Thanks again, Ewan.  I did manage to find a site on the web which showed parish churches which was quite helpful.  I now know the names of the adjoining parishes where I may find more of my ancestors.
