  • Useful Information About the Village and Activities
    Useful information about the village and activities As a small village, we hope everyone will participate one way or another so that we get to know each other and help make a cohesive community. Whatever your reasons for settling here and wherever you have moved from, we hope your time in this village will be a truly happy one. Down Ampney claims to fame Down Ampney is the birthplace of the quintessential English composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams. His father was vicar here in the 1870s and Ralph was born in what is now The Old Vicarage. His father is buried in the churchyard and there is an exhibition in the Church to which many devotees come. The village’s other claim to fame is the part Down Ampney played in the Second World War as much of the estate was a large airfield, hospital, barracks etc. Hundreds of men and women were stationed here and were part of the Arnhem Airborne Operation and D-Day landings. Dakotas and Horsa gliders were flown from here. There is a memorial near the airfield and a garden of remembrance on the north side of the church.
