Not far to the farm shop. "It is thought that the name Upton Cheyney is derived simply from the words 'upper farmhouse'. Archaeological records indicate the site of a Roman settlement to the south-east of the village and at nearby Pipley Bottom the stepped terraces, cut by Romano-Britons for vine cultivation can still be seen. It is likely that the present settlement grew up around springs and above the marshy river valleys. Manor Farm at the junction of Wick Lane was mentioned in the Domesday Book and most of the buildings in the village were constructed between 1690 and 1830."
