Moving Forward - Proposals 2. Froxfield past 10. Summary 3. History of Froxfield’s roads 11. Notes 4. Froxfield within the conservation area 5. A4 in relation to Froxfield 6. Parish Council analyses issues 1. Froxfield present Straddling the A4 road, Froxfield is a village which at the last census (2011) had a population of 382. This included 153 men and 229 women and covered 168 households. (i) The highest population enjoyed by Froxfield was 625 in 1841; the lowest 266 in 1971. (ii) The village extends along the very wide A4 – with narrow (often single-track) side roads leading off it towards Little Bedwyn, Great Bedwyn, Chilton Foliat and Ramsbury. There are also three smaller residential ‘no-thru’ roads. There is a thriving private nursery school (Stepping Stones) within the village boundary at the hamlet of Oakhill. There are several substantial businesses based in Froxfield – furniture retailer OKA has its major south west showroom on the A4, at the western end of the village; along Littlecote Road, we find BK Grain Handling Engineers, operating in Froxfield since 1981; Brendoncare offers nursing care for 44 residents and The Blanchard Collective has a 6000sq ft warehouse for 18 antique dealers. 2. Froxfield past The earliest written record of anything on the site of the parish of Froxfield was found in the year 778, where a parcel of land in the general area was called Frosca burna – or 'frog's bourn' –- but this does not necessarily mean that there was a settlement there.
