Down Ampney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Down Ampney is a medium-sized village located in Cotswold district in Gloucestershire, in England.

It is off the A417 which runs between Cirencester and Faringdon (in Oxfordshire) on the A420, and about 5 km north of Cricklade, which is on the A419 which runs from Cirencester to Swindon, Wiltshire.

Down Ampney was notable in mediaeval times as one of the principal seats of the powerful Hungerford family (their principal seat was at Farleigh Hungerford, Somerset) and a number of elaborate family monuments survive in the village church.

The Old Vicarage in Down Ampney was the birthplace of Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1872. A tune he composed (used for the hymn "Come Down, O Love Divine") is titled "Down Ampney" in its honour.
