Welcome to Great Hinton Village

(Great Hinton Memorial Hall)

Great Hinton is a small hamlet of approximately 170 people but nonetheless very active. There are clubs meeting throughout the year - indoor bowls, lunch club, ladies club and an art and craft group. Various events are held during the year such as skittles, quizzes, games, bingo, horse racing evenings, food evenings - Chinese New Year or a Burns Night or a curry evening. There is an annual fete in the summer and a bonfire and fireworks evening in November.

Great Hinton is situated about 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Melksham and 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north-east of Trowbridge in Wiltshire, England. The parish includes the hamlets of Bleet and Cold Harbour. The parish was a tithing of the ancient parish of Steeple Ashton, until it became a separate civil parish in the late 19th century. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book. There were ancient settlements in the area as shown by the medieval earthworks to the north of the village, and the ancient "holloway" located south and east of Church Farm.

Great Hinton had a public house, The Linnet (originally called The New Inn), which closed in 2011. It is a Grade II listed building that was built in the mid-eighteenth century and has a brewhouse dated 1816. It is a brick building with asbestos slate roof and brick chimney stacks. The interior of the building has been modernised but the chamfered beams remain.
