Of the 20 churches in Swindon Town (not district), 16 are post 1850 and not included in this survey. The four included are in villages swallowed up as the town expanded to become the main manufacturing/repair site of the Great Western Railway. These are the original Swindon church of the Holy Rood (ruin), St Marys at Rodbourne Cheney, Stratton St Margaret and Blunsden St Andrew. Other villages in the Swindon area have retained their identity and are included in this survey.
