Kington St Michael is a village and civil parish about 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Chippenham in Wiltshire, England.

It is largely a linear village based on its main street, which runs from southeast to northwest, where Honey Knob Hill leads into open countryside towards Grittleton.

[3] Easton Piercy, west of the village and now a farm and a few houses, was formerly a tithing of Kington St Michael, which had its own chapel in medieval times[4] and a population of 41 in the 1840s.

[6] After the Dissolution, in 1544 Nicholas Snell bought Kington Michael manor from the Crown; he and/or his father, Richard, had been employed by the last abbot of Glastonbury.

[9] The Snell family accumulated extensive estates on the Wiltshire–Somerset border, and after John (son of Nicholas) bought Easton Piercy manor in 1575, they owned almost the whole of the parish.

In about 1760 the Chippenham to Malmesbury road (now the A350) was made a turnpike, and Kington benefited from the increase in traffic, by the end of the 18th century supporting "tailors, two blacksmiths and a carpenter ... [and] a slaughterhouse, malthouse and public house".

[13][14] The rubble stone church has a west tower and a small chancel; in between, the nave and the wide north and south aisles each have a gabled roof.

[13] There is evidence of a 12th-century church in the wide chancel arch (much restored) and in the jambs of the south doorway, which have carved capitals.

[18] The lychgate at the main entrance to the churchyard, in rubble stone and ashlar, was built in 1917 to designs of Harold Brakspear as a memorial to Herbert Prodgers of Kington Manor.

[27] Kington Manor, west of the church in its own grounds, was rebuilt in Cotswold style in 1863–4 for Herbert Prodgers, who bought the property in 1862.

It dates back to the 18th century, when beer was brewed on the premises and it was named the White Horse Brewery; it is now a free house.
