Hinton Parva, also known as Little Hinton, is a village in the Borough of Swindon in Wiltshire, England. It lies about 2 miles (3.2 km) from the eastern edge of the Swindon built-up area, and is separated from the town by farmland and the village of Wanborough. Hinton Parva was a separate civil parish parish until 1934, and is now in the parish of Bishopstone.
Parts of the village were taken over by the War Department during World War II in 1943 to store tanks.
The Norman parish church of St Swithun is a Grade I listed building.[2] An area around the church was designated a conservation area in 1990.[3]
