Wootton Rivers is a small village and civil parish in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire, England.

[2] Domesday Book recorded a settlement at Otone in 1086, with 69 households, two churches, and land held by Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey, Normandy.

[1] A gazetteer of 1872 mentioned that there was then a post-office, an iron foundry and an agricultural implement factory in the village, and that the church ran a national school.

[11] The former rectory house, opposite the start of the lane leading to the church, is an imposing redbrick building of the mid 18th century, with a five-bay front, two storeys and an attic.

The Kennet and Avon Canal was built close to the southern end of Wootton Rivers village around 1807 and was opened fully in 1810.

In 1928 a small station, Wootton Rivers Halt, was built near the road bridge at the southern end of the village.
