Grittleton is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, 6 miles (10 km) northwest of Chippenham.

[2] The Gauze Brook, a small tributary of the Avon, rises near Littleton Drew and flows east across the parish.

The M4 motorway was opened in 1971 across the south of the parish, passing close to The Gibb, Foscote, Sevington and Leigh Delamere.

The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded settlements of 23 households at Gretelintone,[3] 15 at Sevamentone (Sevington)[4] and 16 at Liteltone (Littleton Drew).

His philanthropy in the parish included the rebuilding of the near-derelict church at Leigh Delamere and construction of a row of six almshouses nearby; farms were improved and houses were built for estate workers, together with a small private school at Sevington.

Thomson was again the architect, and he re-used stonework, including the bell tower, from the Church of St Margaret of Antioch at Leigh Delamere, which had been rebuilt in 1846.

[3] The church of St Mary the Virgin, Grittleton, originates from c. 1200 and the four-bay north arcade survives from that date.

Work later in the century included re-roofing, replacement of windows and addition of memorials to members of the Neeld family.

[17] The benefice of Littleton Drew was united with Nettleton in 1960;[21] today the church is part of the Bybrook Team Ministry.

[33] Notable rectors include George Bancroft (translator, 16th century); and Thomas Tully (theologian and writer, 1620–1676).
