From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Badbury is a hamlet of the civil parish of Chiseldon in Wiltshire. It lies approximately 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the south of Swindon, very close the M4 motorway.
There is evidence that in 955 King Eadred granted Badbury, then containing twenty-five hides, to Saint Dunstan, Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey. The manor of Badbury was held by the Abbey at the time of the Domesday book, when it was counted as twenty hides. In 1203, Badbury was passed to the Bishop of Bath but it was returned to the monks of Glastonbury in 1219, where it remained until 1539.
