Sherston is a village and civil parish about 5 miles (8 km) west of Malmesbury in Wiltshire, England.

The parish is bounded to the north by the county boundary with Gloucestershire, and to the southeast by the Fosse Way, a Roman road.

The Fosse Way, a major Roman road, passes nearby and forms the southeastern boundary of the modern parish.

[9] The Estcourt family of Pinkney were influential at Malmesbury in the 17th century, for a time holding the post of high steward of the borough.

[11] The latter's son, also Thomas, died in 1704 and the estate passed to his sister Elizabeth, who in 1709 married Richard Creswell (1688–1743), from a family of Shropshire landowners: she brought to the marriage the manors of Sherston, Malmesbury and Norton.

[12] Their son Thomas Estcourt Cresswell (1712–1788), seated at Pinkney Park, was returned to parliament for Wootton Bassett;[13] there is a monument to him in the parish church.

An electoral ward with the same name exists, consisting of the parishes of Luckington, Sherston, Sopworth, Easton Grey, Norton, St Paul Malmesbury Without, and Brokenborough.

[27] Further north, Pinkney Court is a farmhouse of c.1600 which was remodelled for Sir Thomas Estcourt around 1680; it has a five-bay front and is described by Julian Orbach (updating Pevsner) as "a lovely group with its outbuildings".

[25][28] In the north of the parish, Willesley House is probably a medieval hall,[25] rebuilt in 1583 and re-fronted in the late 17th century or early 18th.

[32] The old school was bought by the parish council in 2011 and is home to shops and businesses, including the Post Office Stores.

[34] In the 1970s and 1980s Sherston was the home of eccentric socialite Lady Edith Foxwell, and her friend the soul singer Marvin Gaye was a frequent visitor.
