A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Hardenhuish from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "HARDENHUISH, or HARNISH, a parish in Chippenham [registration] district, Wilts; adjacent to the Great Western railway, 1½ mile NW of Chippenham. Post town: Chippenham. Acres: 1,477. Real property: £1,227. Population: 117. Houses: 27. The property is divided among a few. Hardenhuish Park is the seat of E. L. Clutterbuck, Esq. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol. Value: £90. Patron: E. L. Clutterbuck, Esq. The church is good; and the churchyard contains the tomb of Thorpe, the antiquary, and a marble monument to [David] Ricardo, the political economist. There is a free school.
In 1934 the civil parish of Hardenhuish, which was formerly in Chippenham Hundred and Chippenham Rural District, was absorbed into the parish of Langley Burrell Within and Langley Burrell Within was absored into Chippenham.
