Swindon & District Directory Extract 1928 Purton
Swindon & District Directory Extract 1928 Purton PURTON is a large village, with a station on the Gloucester branch of the G.W.R., is 4 miles from Cricklade, 4 from Wootton Bassett, and 6 from Swindon, and is in the Chippenham Division of Wilts, Union and Petty Sessional Division of Cricklade and Wootton Bassett, County Court District of Swindon, and Diocese of Bristol. The Church dedicated to St. Mary, is an ancient structure with modern additions, and was once a chantry to Malmesbury Abbey. Its register dates from 1558. One notable feature in the building is the existence of a tower at the west end, and a lofty spire rising from the intersection of the nave and chancel. Only two other churches of this kind exist in the country – at Wanborough, Wilts, and Ormskirk, Lancashire. The living is a vicarage of the annual value of £455, in the gift of the Earl of Shaftesbury. The excellent Parochial Schools are a standing memorial of the zeal and interest shown by the late Rev. D. O. Coates, to whose energy their success is largely due. In the central part of the village stands a handsome building erected by Mr. and Mrs. James Sadler, of Lydiard House, as a memorial to the deceased sister of Mrs. Sadler, for the purpose of a coffee tavern and reading room. Mr. Sadler has presented the institution to the parishioners, the trustees being the Parish Council. Mr. Sadler, who is the President of the Purton Cricket Club, generously purchased the Cricket Field from Miss Russell in 1911, and presented it to the parish. -
