Chirton Farmhouse, number 41 The Street, was built in the late 17th or early 18th century and was extended in the 19th century. Constructed of diaper brickwork under a thatch roof. Probably originally 2 bays, timber framed, encased in brick in the 18th century and extended by one bay in the 19th century. Some early internal features and fittings remain. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1035811 Chirton is a village in Wiltshire, on the southern edge of the Vale of Pewsey, about 5 miles southeast of Devizes and some 19 miles northwest of Andover. The name Chirton means 'farm by the Church' and there is still a working farm in the village. Originally an agricultural village, most working residents now commute.
