Historical Notes (with acknowledgement to David Webb)
The famous mapmaker and cartographer John Speed (1552 - 1629) shows Atworth on his maps of Wiltshire. However, it appears with the name "Atford". Later, in 1773, the mapmakers Andrews and Drury, published a map of Wiltshire in which Atworth appeared as both "Atford" and as "Attworth". The "At" component of the name has been associated with the word "oat", which may imply a role in the service of grain markets of the time. By the time the Ordnance Survey produced its first maps in the early 19th century, the name "Atworth" was almost exclusively used as the name for the village.
