Clench is a hamlet in Wiltshire, England. The name Clench dates from the 13th century and means a lumpy or massive hill.[1]. It is situated in Pewsey Vale to the east of Wootton Rivers. Its nearest town is Marlborough, which lies approximately 3.8 miles (6.1 km) north from the hamlet.
During the 15th century Clench probably extended further south, likely to be as far as the complex of small closes near Broomsgrove Lodge, with more buildings and boundaries than survive now, as the area was marked as ‘Clinch’ on the 1843 title map
