Edington is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire]], England, about 4 miles (6 km) east-northeast of Westbury.

Tinhead is the former name of the eastern half of present-day Edington, towards Coulston along the B3098 Westbury to Market Lavington road.

[4] Bratton Downs, a biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest, includes the hillside above the village.

After his execution in 1549 the former assets of both monastic houses were granted to William Paulet, 1st Earl of Wiltshire (later Marquess of Winchester).

[15] The Grade I listed house called The Priory, immediately north of the church, may incorporate parts of the monastic buildings.

Their tenants included Henry Baynton (from 1573) and Lady Anne Beauchamp (1630 to 1664); an inventory at the death of the latter listed more than 40 rooms.

[17] Also Grade I listed is a small 14th-century building set into the hillside over the Ladywell spring, about 400 metres south-west of the church.

[18][19] On Inmead, west of the church, are Whites Farm, a thatched late 16th-century timber-framed house;[20] and The Grange, an 18th-century brick house with stone dressings, reputedly at one time occupied by Lavinia Fenton (1708–1760), a well-known London actress who was the mistress and then wife of Charles Powlett (or Paulet), 3rd Duke of Bolton.

It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which performs all significant local government functions.

[27] The village is some six miles from the county town of Trowbridge, which, with Devizes and Westbury, provides shopping facilities.

The parish had a National School, built at Tinhead in 1877; it closed in 1956 owing to falling pupil numbers.
