Pewsham is a small village of approximately 100 residents on the A4 national route between Chippenham and Calne in Wiltshire, southwestern England.
Although it is signposted as Pewsham, the settlement does not appear on Ordnance Survey maps. The village is occasionally referred to as Old Derry Hill. There is a small business centre (Forest Gate), a Fiat-Subaru car dealership and a village pub, The Lysley Arms. Amongst the residential buildings is the village's converted chapel.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, when large housing developments spread across several towns, Pewsham was the name given to Chippenham's new residential district in the southeast of the town, with the even larger Cepen Park development expanding out to the west.
Pewsham was one of several areas that formed the Derry Hill ecclesiastical parish, formed in 1842. [1]
