An Ordnance Survey map of 1961 names a settlement at Sandridge Hill, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of Melksham, and a hamlet of Sandridge, 0.25 miles (0.4 km) to the north;[1] as of 2015 these names are no longer in gazetteers and Sandridge refers to a wider area along the A3102, with Sandridge Common identified on road signs near Melksham.

A National School was built in 1873 at Sandridge Common, on land given by Ralph Ludlow Lopes[2] and educated children of all ages until 1953;[3] around that time it became known as Forest and Sandridge Church of England Primary School. In 2015, to cater for the eastward expansion of Melksham, the school moved to a new building on the outskirts of the town.[4]

Sandridge Park

Sandridge Park (not to be confused with Sandridge Park, Devon) is a country house which stands in parkland off the A3102, about 2 miles (3 km) east of Melksham. The two-storey house was built between 1856 and 1859 for Henry Lopes.[5] After being used for a time as a hotel, it was sold in 2018 as an eight-bedroom house for £2.8m.[6]

The former coach house and stables, now converted into a house, is Grade II listed.[7]
