Heddington

Heddington is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England 3 miles (5 km) south of Calne.

King's Play Hill is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest within the parish.

[4] In the 17th and 18th centuries the London-Bath road followed part of the southern boundary of the parish, where it climbed Beacon Hill.

[8] The tower holds a 8-0-19 cwt ring of 6 in G. The oldest bell, the 5th, was cast in 1605 by John Wallis.

Gillett & Johnston in 1953 added the treble (1st) to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

The treble is hung in a separate frame made of the same material by Gillet & Johnston on the same level.

The mechanical bellow pump handle remains after the blowing system was converted to electric.

[13] Quakers were active in the parish from the late 17th century and by 1681 had a burial ground west of the church, which went out of use before 1818 and was sold c. 1930.
