From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highworth is a market town and civil parish in the Borough of Swindon, England, about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of Swindon town centre. The 2011 Census recorded a population of 8,151. The town is notable for its Queen Anne and Georgian buildings, dating from its pre-eminence in the 18th century. It also has a 13th-century church, St. Michael’s.
The root High references the geography of the town, as it sits on a hill above the Upper Thames Valley. The suffix -worth is derived from the Gothic π π°π, which is transliterated as warΕ in Old English and as worth in Middle English.[a] It means “those that care for, watch, guard, protect, or defend”.
