In the Survey of English Dialects, the recording from the village was one of the furthest away from Standard English that was recorded.[3]{{Failed verification|date=February 2011|reason=webpage gives access to sound sample but says nothing of distance of dialect from Standard English}} LocationThe Bristol Avon forms much of the eastern boundary of the parish. The main road through the village was the A420 which ran from Bristol to Swindon and Oxford. Following the building of the M4 motorway this section was reclassified as the B4069. Local governmentThe civil parish elects a parish council. It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions. Draycot Cerne and Seagry, formerly separate parishes, were added to Sutton Benger in 1934. In 1971 all land north of the newly built M4 was transferred to a recreated Seagry parish.[4] AmenitiesThe village has a primary school,[5] a post office[6] and a doctors surgery. The village hall has a recreation ground and a multi-use games area. Several community groups make use of the hall including a pre-school, Benger Bears,[7] a playgroup, WI and Over 60's group. There is a pub - the Wellesley Arms,[8] a restaurant - La Flambé,[9] and a hotel/restaurant - The Bell House Hotel.[10] The Anglican Church of All Saints is Grade II* listed.[11][12] It has 12th-century origins and a 15th-century tower; it was heavily restored in 1851. St James's Church, Draycot Cerne was built around 1300 and declared redundant in 1994. EconomyIn 2008 Faccenda Group closed their chicken processing plant in the village, with the loss of 450 jobs, moving production to another site.[13][14] Notable people
