Sherston is a compact historic village and civil parish in north‑west Wiltshire, close to the Gloucestershire border and on the southern fringe of the Cotswolds. It sits around a broad village green and lanes of honey‑coloured stone houses, with a medieval parish church and other historic buildings that testify to its long agricultural past and local market connections with the nearby market town of Malmesbury.
Economically the area is still rooted in farming but now supports a mix of small businesses, village shops and commuters heading to larger centres such as Bath and Swindon. Social life is lively for a rural community, centred on the village hall, school and seasonal fetes, with plenty of walking country and quiet tourism drawing visitors who appreciate traditional village character and the surrounding rolling countryside.
