All Saints' Church was built by the knights templar in around 1260 and evidence of this can still be found inside. Located next to the manor house, the church formed part of the Hungerford estate from the 1400s and many of the family are buried in the church grounds.
There is an exhibit at the back of the church dedicated to the life and times of the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, Down Ampney's most celebrated son.
In recent years the roof has fallen in need of repair. The "Raise the Roof" committee has been set up to raise funds to repair the church roof and save this historical building. Please support "Raise the Roof".
