Seend is a hilltop village about 3¾ miles west of Devizes and some 5¾ miles northeast of Trowbridge. The name is from the Old English word ‘sende’ meaning a sandy place. It lies astride the A361 road from Devizes to Trowbridge, which was once the main road from London to Bath. The village has medieval origins, but there is evidence of occupation in Neolithic times. Farming, especially of wool, and later iron ore brought prosperity to Seend, which today is essentially a commuter village.
