Swindon lays claim to the evocative works of a local writer, Richard Jefferies. He was born in Coates in 1848 and wrote many books that were founded on his upbringing on a farm. He suffered from tuberculosis and had to move home on several occasions. The plaque records that he lived here from 1875-7, some twelve years before his death at the age of thirty-eight.
