In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Hullavington like this:
HULLAVINGTON, a village and a parish in Malmsbury district, Wilts. The village stands 5 miles SW by S of Malmsbury, and 6 NW by N of Chippenham r. station; and has a post office under Chippenham.—The parish includes the tythingo f Surrendral, and comprises 3, 121 acres. Real property, £4, 605. ...
Pop., 700. Houses, 152. The property is divided among a few. The manor belonged to the priory of St. Victor, near Rouen; passed to the Crown; was given, by Henry VI., to Eton College; and is now held by Sir John Neeld, Bart., as lessee. The parish is a meet for the Beaufort hounds. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. Value, £194. Patron, Eton College. The church is ancient; has some good early English work, and a tower; and, in 1866, was much out of repair. There are chapels for Independents, Baptists, and Primitive Methodists, a school partly supported by Sir John Neeld, and charities £5.
