Bremilham, also known as Cowage or Cowich, is a small settlement and former civil parish in north Wiltshire, England. It is near the hamlet of Foxley in the parish of Norton. The nearest town is Malmesbury, about 2 miles (3.2 km) away to the north east. The place-name 'Bremilham' is first attested in 1065, as Bremelham, and means 'village where brambles or blackberries grew'. In 1881 the parish had a population of 25. On 25 March 1884 the parish was abolished and its land divided among Foxley, Westport St Mary and Brokenborough parishes. In 1934 Foxley (with Bremilham) was transferred to the civil parish of Norton. On some present-day maps, only Cowage Farm is shown. Bremilham was a small ecclesiastical parish until 1893 when it was united with Foxley.
