Leigh Delamere

Leigh Delamere is a small village in the civil parish of Grittleton in the English county of Wiltshire, five miles from Chippenham. It is the location of Leigh Delamere services on the M4 motorway.

The village comprises a church, eight almshouses and eight houses, most of which have been renovated during a major modernization of the hamlet following the demise of Manor Farm. The almshouses have been sold and the new owners are going to split the building into two houses.

Leigh Delamere is in the constituency of North Wiltshire, and the MP is James Gray (Conservative).

Since 2007, a bund has been proposed to be built around the hamlet of Leigh Delamere to reduce the noise of motorway traffic. The residents of Leigh Delamere voted on whether to build the bund and the vote won with a landslide victory.
