The History of Chippenham begins with the founding of the land around 700 AD and it's first mention by name in history - 853 AD - at which time it was the site of the King of Wessex's (King Ethelwulf's) country home. On this date he "celebrated the marriage of his daughter Ethelswitha, with Buthred, King of Mercia, in the Villa Regia, the King's Country House, which is called Chippenham" (page 5). While most of the book details the history of the town through geology, charters, schools, war, plague, trade, etc. - it also includes a list of monuments with inscriptions noted, church records, persons of note, a list of sheriffs from 1163 - 1893, and more. Also - it includes a list of Celtic and Saxon words and expressions in use in the parish of Chippenham and neighboring towns at the time of writing such as "Dunch" meaning dull or stupid, "Ninnyhammer" meaning a simpleton, and "Guzzle" meaning a sink.
