Atworth Parish Council – The source for all your Atworth Parish Council Information (original) (raw)

Welcome to your Atworth Parish Council

Atworth is a wonderful place to live! In 1001, a charter of Ethelred the Unready referred to the village as ‘Aettenwrth’ (Aetta’s Farmstead) but during medieval times, it was also referred to as ‘Attennuith’, ‘Attewarde’, Attewrde’, ‘Ateworth’ and ‘Atford’, the name of ‘Atworth’ was not officially settled upon until 1858! The parish of Atworth was formed in 1884 and comprises Atworth village, the parishes of Great Chalfield and Little Chalfield plus Cottles and its parish council is committed to serving our community and continuing the strong sense of community spirit and looking after each other. As a community, there is Atworth Village Hall (built in 1914) which continues to be a central hub for the parish, along with St Michael and All Angels church and Atworth Independent Church (the Chapel by the Clock). There is also Snapdragons Nursery and the highly regarded Churchfields Primary School both of which serve the needs of the many young families in the village. Atworth’s sole surviving pub, the White Hart, is well supported and there are a number of clubs and activities in the parish run by enthusiastic local residents. We are very lucky to have our beloved iconic Clock Tower, built in 1897 and also the historic Great Chalfield Manor within our parish.
