Welcome to the Hankerton Village Website.
Hankerton or as it was called in ancient times Hanekington, once belonged to the Abbey of Malmesbury. It is about 3 miles east of Malmesbury 10 miles west of Swindon. The village has about 100 homes and a population of approximately 250 people, a dairy farm, an Aberdeen Angus beef farm and an arable farm. We have a local car repair business, a Lifestyle beauty business and a fabric and soft furnishing business.
