Etymology
[edit | edit source]Also historically called Bagginton and Badgington until the late 19th-century, the name derives from the early medieval description "valley of Baecga's folk".[5]
St Margaret's Church
[edit | edit source]The Church of England parish church, St Margaret's, a Grade I listed building[6] dedicated probably either to St Margaret of Antioch or to St Margaret of Scotland, is “an attractive and interesting little church, often subjected to flooding". The church building is partly Norman, but the chancel, south door and porch, the windows in the nave, and the diagonal buttresses of the tower date to between about 1460 and 1470.[7]
People
[edit | edit source]The novelist Hilda Gregg was born here in 1868.[8]
