Down Ampney (pronounced Amney)[1] is a medium-sized village located in Cotswold district in Gloucestershire, in England.
[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.
[10] There is also a 20th-century stained-glass window in commemoration of 271 Sqn and the R.A.S.C who flew in the Dakota aircraft from the airfield for the Battle of Arnhem in 1944.
[citation needed] The Down Ampney estate, comprising almost all of the farm land in the parish, is now owned by the Co-operative Group.
