Ditteridge

Ditteridge is a hamlet in the civil parish of Box, Wiltshire, England. It is about northwest of Box and west of the town of Corsham.

Consisting today of a farm and a handful of houses, the ancient parish of Ditteridge (which included the hamlet of Alcombe) had a larger population, peaking at 119 at the 1851 census. The civil parish, created in 1837, was combined with Box in 1884.

The Fosse Way Roman road passes west of Ditteridge. The settlement was recorded as Digeric in the Domesday Book of 1086. Cheney Court is from the 17th century and is Grade II* listed.

From circa 1849 a school was associated with the church; after it closed in the 1880s, children attended the school at Box.
