Allington Bar is a farm and small hamlet on the A420.
Allington Manor Farmhouse is from the mid 18th century[1] and incorporates fragments of a 17th-century manor house; further fragments are within an 18th-century barn.[2] Bolehyde Manor, a Grade II* listed 17th-century manor house[3] and former home of Queen Camilla, is a short distance north of Allington village.
This Allington is not a former parish, but was a tithing of the parish of Chippenham.[4] Since 1894 it has been in the civil parish of Chippenham Without.[5]
The settlement was designated as a conservation area in 1998, and in 2002 the area was extended to include the surrounding landscape.[6]
