Purton Wiltshire Map

About Purton

Purton, a Wiltshire village, holds a quiet dignity. It lies 5.9 km north-north-east of Royal Wootton Bassett (from Royal Wootton Bassett: bearing 27°T, OS grid SU 093 877), and is situated north of Lydiard Millicent village. The fields around Purton roll gently, their hedgerows thick with the scent of hawthorn in spring, a green breath across the land. The village church, St. Mary's, stands as a solid anchor, its stone weathered by centuries, catching the afternoon sun with a warm, ochre glow. A sense of continuity pervades Purton, a feeling that the lives lived here have followed a steady, familiar course, much like the slow meander of the nearby River Ray.
