Siddington is a village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. It is located immediately south of Cirencester. At the 2011 United Kingdom Census, the parish had a population of 1,249.

Contents

There is evidence of Neolithic inhabitation of the area. Situated adjacent to Ermin Way, the Roman road connecting present-day Gloucester and Silchester, Siddington has multiple examples of Romano-British settlements. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book, and parts of the church are Norman. During the Industrial Revolution, the Thames and Severn Canal was built through the parish, followed by the Cirencester branch line and the Swindon and Cheltenham Extension Railway in the 1840s and 1880s respectively.

Siddington is located near the Cotswolds AONB, and parts of the Cotswold Water Park SSSI are within the parish.

History

Pits, sherds, and flint are evidence of Neolithic inhabitation of the Siddington area. Beaker pottery found in the area suggests Early Bronze Age activity, and various earthworks are evidence of middle Bronze Age and Iron Age use of the area. [2] Ermin Way, the Roman road connecting Glevum (Gloucester) to Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester) via Corinium (Cirencester) forms part of the parish's north-eastern border. [3] Romano-British settlements existed near the west border and at the south of the parish. The latter settlement is evidenced by pottery and building debris, as well as discoveries of a well and a coin of Constantius II. [3] Excavation of a third Romano-British settlement, near Ermin Way, uncovered a sherd from a situla dating from the Iron Age. [3]

The name "Siddington" is derived from the Old English sūð in tūn, meaning "south in the farm [or] settlement". [4] Siddington was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as comprising 46 households, putting it in the top fifth of English settlements as regards population. Additionally, it was at that time recorded as lying within the hundred of Cirencester and the county of Gloucestershire. Landowners of Siddington following the Norman Conquest included Godric, Leofwin, and Emma (wife of Walter de Lacy). [5] Alternative spellings have included "Sudintone" and "Suintone", [6] and in the Domesday Survey of 1086, the name "Suditone" was used. At this time, Siddington was recorded as having landowners including Roger of Lacy, Hascoit Musard, Humphrey the Chamberlain, and William fitzBaderon. [5] [7] The survey showed that Siddington had at least 17 villagers, 18 smallholders, 13 slaves, and 2 priests, as well as a mill and 20 acres (8.1 ha) of meadowland. [5] Ridge and furrow patterns have suggested agricultural use of the higher land during the Medieval period. [2] Geoffrey of Langley inherited the Siddington estate in the 1220s. [8]

In the 1780s, during the Industrial Revolution, the Thames and Severn Canal was constructed through the parish, and a flight of four locks was built to begin the canal's descent from its summit pound towards the River Thames; the locks brought the canal down a total of 39 ft (12 m). [lower-alpha 1] [9] Immediately west of the top lock was a wharf and basin where a short canal arm led north into Cirencester. [10] Railways arrived in Siddington in 1841, when the Cirencester branch line opened between Cirencester Town and Kemble. The line did not serve Siddington until 1960, however, when Park Leaze Halt opened across the Kemble parish border. [11] In 1883, the Swindon and Cheltenham Extension Railway, later becoming the Midland and South Western Junction Railway (MSWJR), opened between Cirencester Watermoor and Swindon, [12] crossing the canal between the third and fourth locks in the flight. [13] As with the Cirencester branch line, the MSWJR did not give Siddington its own station; the nearest stops on the line were Cerney and Ashton Keynes and the Cirencester terminus itself, the latter being nearer at 1 mi (1.6 km) from the village. [14]

John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870–72) described how Siddington parish covered 1,950 acres (790 ha), had a property value of £2,777 (equivalent to £313,186in 2023), and a population of 474 within 110 households. The manor was part of the Bathurst estate, [15] and as well as the parish church, the village had an independent chapel. [16] John George Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles, published in 1887, noted the size of the parish as 2,317 acres (938 ha) and showed that the population had risen to 481. [17]

The canal was abandoned in 1927, [18] although through-passage of the Sapperton Tunnel had become near impossible after the 1910s when multiple roof collapses had occurred. [19] Parts of the canal bed in Siddington were later infilled and some areas built upon. [20] The railways were removed in the 1960s; while the decline and closure of the MSWJR preceded it, [21] the Cirencester Branch was a casualty of the Beeching Axe of the early 1960s. [22]

Governance

As a civil parish, Siddington has a parish council formed of nine councillors as well as a chair and vice-chair. [23] The parish is within the catchment of Cotswold District Council. [24]

Siddington forms part of the Siddington and Cerney Rural ward, [25] itself part of the Cotswolds constituency. [25] Since 1992, the MP representing the constituency has been Geoffrey Clifton-Brown. [26] Historically, Siddington was in the hundred of Crowthorne and Minety. [16]

The River Churn forms part of the boundary between Siddington and South Cerney

Siddington is located within the catchment of the River Thames; [27] the River Churn, the farthest tributary from the river mouth, flows through the parish. [28] The Environment Agency operates a monitoring station near the site of Siddington Mill. Between 2009 and 2012 the classification of fish in the river was "good" or "moderate", [29] and between 2013 and 2016 [lower-alpha 2] this fluctuated between "bad", "poor", and "moderate". [30]

The Cotswold Water Park SSSI is partly within the parish, [31] and the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is less than 1 mi (1.6 km) northwest of Siddington. [24] Part of the Kemble & Ewen Special Landscape Area is within the western extremities of the parish. [24] One designated brownfield site is within the parish, on its east border. [24]

Situated on the edge of the Cotswolds, a contour line at 362 ft (110 m) AOD runs through the parish. [32] [33] Here, the Thames and Severn Canal follows the land to act as a contour canal on its summit pound west of the Siddington Locks. [34]

Geology

The bedrock geology of Siddington includes the Cornbrash Formation, Forest Marble Formation, Oxford Clay Formation, and the Kellaways Formation. [35] Superficial deposits include Hanborough gravel and alluvium. [35]

Boundaries

The parish of Siddington covers 862.34 ha (2,130.9 acres). [1] It is bordered to the north by Cirencester, to the east by Preston and South Cerney, to the south by Somerford Keynes, and to the west by Kemble. [36] The River Churn forms part of Siddington's boundary with South Cerney, as does the former RAF South Cerney (now the Duke of Gloucester Barracks). [25] Ermin Way (now followed by the course of the A419) is the parish's north east border. [25]

Economy

Early industries in Siddington include brickmaking; the presence of clay pits and quarries is marked on Ordnance Survey maps of c. 1888–1913. [46] Siddington formerly had a water-driven corn mill on the Churn, although this was derelict by the 1950s. [47] [48] A windmill was built in the late 18th century to grind corn; the Mills Archive does not note its operational dates [49] but its Grade II listing shows that by the 1980s it was "semi-derelict" and had become known as the Round House. [50]

Of the working population of Siddington, the most common employment sector is the wholesale and retail trade. [lower-alpha 4] [1] The next most common industries are manufacturing, social work, education, and construction. [1]

Within the parish, 18.5% of all businesses lie within the professional, scientific, and technical services sector. Construction accounts for 8.6% of businesses, and 7.4% of companies are business administration and support. [51] The number of VAT registered companies per 10,000 working age population is above both the national average and that of Gloucestershire as a whole. [51]

Amenities in the village include a branch of the Post Office [52] and a public house. [53]

Twenty listed buildings are in the village, [54] including the church, [55] the old school house, [56] the Greyhound Inn, [57] the brick arch canal bridge, [58] and the Round House. [50] Scheduled monuments in the parish include the tithe barn at Church Farm [59] and part of the Romano-British settlement near Chesterton. [60]

Siddington has a war memorial within St Peter's Church. It is a plaque dedicated to 13 men killed in the First World War. [61] Similarly, the village hall was built in 1921 as a memorial hall to commemorate the war. The Earl Bathurst gave the plot of land to the village for the hall's construction, and recycled stone from an old nearby barn was used for the building. [62]

Transport

The parish is served by Stagecoach West bus services 51 (Swindon–Cirencester) [63] and C62 (Malmesbury–Cirencester College). [64] Since the removal of the two railway lines in the parish in the 1960s, the nearest railway station has been Kemble. [21] [22] The Cotswold Canals Trust aims to restore the Thames and Severn Canal (albeit not the Cirencester Arm [65] ) which would bring the lock flight through Siddington back in to full operation. [66] [67]

Education

Siddington Church of England Primary School, located in the north west of the parish, is a co-educational primary school for students aged 5 to 11. [68] Its three most recent Ofsted inspections – in 2010, 2013, and 2017 – have returned "satisfactory" or "good" ratings. [69] [70] [71] In 2018, the school adopted academy status and became part of the Corinium Education Trust along with Cirencester Deer Park School and the primary schools in Kemble and Chesterton. [72]

Religious sites

Church of St Peter, Siddington

The parish church, in the Diocese of Gloucester, is dedicated to St Peter. [16] The church is originally Norman, and was extended in c. 1470. [55] It underwent restoration by Henry Woodyer in 1864; at this point the church tower was added. [55] Of the Norman church, three original features remain – the south doorway, the font, and the chancel arch. [73] The tower has a peal of six bells, [73] all of which were cast by John Warner & Sons in 1879: [74]

A church dedicated to St Mary was demolished in c. 1778 after the amalgamation of its parish with that of St Peter's. [75] Unlike St Peter's, which was overseen by a vicar, St Mary's had a rector. [16] In 1928, a benefice was formed between Siddington and Preston; today, the Churnside Benefice covers South Cerney with Cerney Wick, Siddington, and Preston. [76]

A Quaker burial ground was established in Siddington in 1660, although it is now closed. [77] John Roberts a Quaker humourist who had been born in Siddington, was interred within the cemetery. [78]

Sport

Siddington Cricket Club was first mentioned in the 1850s, playing home games at the village recreation ground until the club folded in the 1950s. It was re-formed in 2017, based in Ampney Crucis. [79]

Siddington Football Club play their home games on the village playing field. The first team competes in Cirencester and District League. [80]
