A Short History of Chilton Foliat
The village's name comes from the Saxon word “cillertone”, which translates to “children's farm”. “Foliat” is derived from the last name of the family who used to own the land in the area before the 13th century. This is also presumably the source of the name of a different village in Wiltshire known as Drayton Foliat.
The village is considered as an ancient settlement since it has been around since the Saxon Times. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book as Cillertone, and it was noted to be a part of the Kinwardstone hundred. At the time of the Domesday survey, Chilton Foliat had 19 households along with 12 ploughlands, two mills, meadows, pastures, and woodlands.
Historically, the village straddled the border between Wiltshire and Berkshire. Leverton, Calcot and Hayward — which belonged to the ecclesiastical parish of Chilton Foliat — were located in Berkshire, and they were transferred to the village of Hungerford in 1895 when civil parishes were created. Chilton Foliat village along with the hamlets of East Soley and West Soley (aka Straight Soley and Crooked Soley) have remained in Wiltshire.
