Seend Cleeve is a large hamlet or sub-village immediately west of Seend in Wiltshire, England. It lies about 2.3 miles (3.7 km) southeast of the town of Melksham.
A Primitive Methodist chapel and Sunday school were founded in Seend Cleeve.[1] In 1849, the chapel was rebuilt in red brick with ashlar quoins.[1] The chapel closed in 1979 and was converted into a private house in 2012.[1]
Seend Cleeve Quarry was a source of brown haematite. Since 1987 the quarry has been a Geological Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Seend Cleeve has two public houses: the Barge Inn[2] on the Kennet and Avon Canal, and the Brewery Inn.
