A snippet of the history of Horningsham
Horningsham enters written history with the Domesday Book 1086, though the village was certainly inhabited and already called Horningsham in Saxon times. There is also archaeological evidence of Bronze Age and Roman settlements nearby.

The village still has a thriving primary school, a busy pub, an active Village Hall, a Cricket Club, monthly services in the Methodist Chapel, and a full calendar of village social events throughout the year, including a popular traditional Village Fayre every June.
