CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
The village of Wick lies in the hundreds of Pucklechurch and in the deanery of Hawksbury. Originally 5 hamlets, Berdwick, Holybrook, so called because of the spring dedicated to the Holy Virgin, Churchley or Church Aight, which obtained its name from an ancient chapel dedicated to St. Bartholomew, the chapel is long gone and the Hamlet itself scarcely remembered., Bridgeyate or Breachyeat, now in the Parish of Siston, and finally Toghill. Situated to the west of Marshfield, on the A420, which is the old Bristol to London Road, Wick is nestled in the valley between the Cotswold and Mendip hills. History has left the village with a mixture of its own, Roman burial ground, discovered in 1955 when foundations for a water treatment works were being dug, and Medieval farms. Tracy Park, with its history dating back to 1246, when John De Tracey bought the estate, is now a Golf and Country Hotel and Wick Court is a 16c gabled manor house, built on a site that was previously a nunnery.
