The village of Sutton Benger lies in the Vale of Dauntsey in North Wiltshire, just north of Chippenham along the B4069 and near to the River Avon. The name Sutton Benger has been in use since at least the 14th century but the village has also been known as Sutton Leonard and was probably in existence before the Norman Conquest in 1066. In 1971 the M4 motorway sliced through the old parish and created new boundaries, both legal and physical. This popular village, once part of the estate of Malmesbury Abbey, is now just minutes from Chippenham and the M4 at junction 17 giving easy access to Swindon and London. The church at Sutton Benger was built in the 12th century and originally dedicated to St. Leonard but by 1763 it had been re-named All Saints. Visitors who find looking at old village churches is hungry work are spoiled for choice in Sutton Benger which boasts ample opportunities to eat good food and enjoy a drink. The Wellesley Arms is a fine 18th century building offering food, drink and a beer garden. The village also boasts the well-reviewed restaurant, La Flambe which is part of The Vintage Inn.
