Down Ampney and its Anglo-Saxon Hi story in Wiltshire’s border zone
The article surveys Down Ampney near Cirencester and Cricklade, describing its ancient setting, Roman roads Ermine and Mosse Ways, and nearby Chedworth villa. It recounts Saxon and Norman influences, Hungerford ownership from 1261 to 1658, and the 1587 Hungerford rebuilding era. The church and gatehouse beside the manor house are noted, with emphasis on the 13th century tower and spired nave alongside the river Thames crossing at Aust.
