Down Ampney (pronounced Amney)[1] is a medium-sized village located in Cotswold district in Gloucestershire, in England.

In 1906 the composer wrote a tune for the hymn "Come Down, O Love Divine" which he titled "Down Ampney" in honour of his birthplace.

[3][7] Its prominent spire dates from the 14th century, although much of the church fabric seen today is the product of Victorian restoration work carried out in 1863.

The wooden fittings in the church, including the pulpit, reredos, and rood screen were designed in 1898 by Charles Ponting.

[citation needed] The Down Ampney estate, comprising almost all of the farm land in the parish, is now owned by the Co-operative Group.
