Historical Description
LATTON is a village and parish, on the river Chum and the Thames and Severn canal, at its junction with the North Wilts canal, 1 ½ miles north-west from Cricklade station, on the Midland and South Western Junction railway, in the Northern division of the county, Highworth hundred, Cricklade petty sessional division, union of Cricklade and Wootton Bassett, and in the rural deanery of Cricklade and archdeaconry and diocese of Bristol. By an order of the County Council, confirmed by the Local Government Board in 1897. the parish of Eisey (including the tithing of Water Eaton) is now amalgamated with Latton. The church of St. John the Baptist is a building of stone in the Norman and later styles, consisting of modern chancel, nave, transepts, south porch, and an embattled western tower, containing 5 bells: the chancel, arch, tower and south doorway are Norman: in the nave are several memorial windows to members of the Beadon family, and in the chancel are others to the Habgood family: there are 180 sittings. The register dates from the year 1576. The living is a vicarage, with that of Eisey annexed, joint net yearly value £200, with residence, in the gift of the Earl of St. Germans, and held since 1891 by the Rev. William Philpot Anderson B.A. of Jesus College, Cambridge. The charities amount to £11 yearly, derived from the rent of land, which is yearly divided among such of the poor as are not in receipt of parochial relief. In straightening the watercourse a few years ago a Roman road, some remains of tesselated pavements, a coffin, and a number of Roman coins were discovered. On the Cirencester road is an ancient stone cross, ten feet in height. The Earl of St. Germans is lord of the manor and sole landowner. The soil is clay and gravel. The chief crops are wheat, barley and roots. The combined area is 4,279 acres of land and 53 of water; rateable value, £4,080; the population of Latton in 1891 was 218.
