This early Victorian building was, until 2011 the Three Tuns Public House. For a short period it was a Morrisons Local shop, now part of the Co-operative. See also Image The large village of Wroughton lies 2 miles south of Swindon at the foot of the Marlborough Downs escarpment. Two headstreams of the River Ray flow from the downs and meet in the village to run north as Wroughton Stream. There is much evidence of settlement and intensive farming of the area in the Roman period. Originally an agricultural village, most workers now commute into Swindon.
