==History==
There was a Roman settlement, Durocornovium, slightly northwest of the current village, at a road junction mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary. Being the last ''vicus'' on Ermin Way or Ermin Street before the scarp slope of the Marlborough Downs, Durocornovium was a site where horses were watered before the steep climb off the Oxfordshire plain.
Wanborough was recorded in the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' as ''Wôdnes-beorg'' which later became ''Wodnesborough'' before becoming ''Wanborough''.〔Jaques, Tony.

Wanborough is just off the Ridgeway National Trail. Development in a strip along the road frontages characterised the village, which reached maximum development in the 4th century.〔(Stillwell, ed. ''Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites'', ''s.v.'' "Durocornovium" )〕
