Pewsham

Pewsham

Pewsham is a housing development located southeast of Chippenham town centre in the county of Wiltshire in England. It was originally a small village by the same name, but was only really a small collection of cottages. In the late-1980s, when large housing developments spread across several towns, Pewsham was the name given to Chippenham's new residential district in the east of the town, with the larger Cepen Park development expanding out to the west.

Pewsham village itself, some 2 miles east of the town, still exists with around 100 residents on the A4 national route towards Calne. Though it is now signposted as Pewsham, it is occasionally referred to as Old Derry Hill. There is a small business centre and a Fiat-Subaru car dealership amongst the residential buildings, one of which is the village's converted chapel.
