From the Wikipedia article
Upton Scudamore is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. The village lies about 1.8 miles (3 km) north of the town of Warminster and about the same distance south of Westbury. The parish includes the hamlet of Halfway. The village occupies a ridge which is the watershed between tributaries of the Bristol Avon and those of the Hampshire Avon. Upton Cow Down rises above the village to the north-east, on the western edge of Salisbury Plain. Springs in the north of the parish are the source of the River Biss, known here as the Biss Brook.

Background
History
Several bowl barrows are evidence of Bronze Age activity in the area. In earlier centuries, the name of the village was often spelt Upton Skidmore. It appears on John Sexton's map of Wiltshire (1610) as simply Upton. A church school was built in 1839, enlarged in 1871, and closed in 1925 owing to falling pupil numbers. The village has a pub, the Angel Inn. An inn with the same name was operating in 1807, close to the site of the present establishment.
