About Rodbourne
What are the main landmarks in Rodbourne?
Three churches head the list. St Augustine, the Church of St Mary and the Parish Church of All Saints all carry entries on this ground, and between them they account for most of what Rodbourne holds on the register. The Chain Test House adds a fourth name.
Then there is the Baird Museum of TV, which gives the suburb something no parish church can.
What is the history of Rodbourne?
Even Swindon is the older name. Rodbourne includes the area that carried it, north of the Swindon town centre in Wiltshire, and the record marks that older name without putting a date to it or to anything else here. The old name arrives with no year beside it.
What survives of the earlier fabric stands in St Augustine, the Church of St Mary, the Parish Church of All Saints and the Chain Test House.
Where is Rodbourne?
