Local Attractions
Wantage
Our local town and birthplace of legendary King Alfred the Great (849AD) whose statue graces the market place.

Wantage appears in the great Doomsday survey of 1086. Its value was £61 and it was in the King's ownership until Richard I passed it to the Earl of Albemarle in 1190. During the Civil War, records from 1644 mention the King dining in the town. A note from 1645 describes the effects of plague. The church suffered from Puritan attacks on its 'idolatrous things'. By the beginning of the 19th century, trade was reduced and poverty hit the town. Wantage had a reputation for lawlessness causing historians to label it 'Black Wantage'. It took some determined work to turn this situation around and the efforts of the Reverend Butler gave the town a renewed respect for itself. An iron foundry gave work to many inhabitants and canal and tramway links encouraged greater trade The twentieth century saw great expansion of the town, the development of a bustling town centre and the growth of the nearby town of Grove.

Wantage is a pretty market town with a good range of shops and services including fast food, restaurants, pubs and bars.

The Vale and Downland Museum
This acclaimed museum located in Wantage has very broad ranging services from galleries interpreting the cultural heritage Vale of the White Horse region, to a cafe with a delightful terrace and garden. It also acts as a springboard for residents and visitors to enjoy and appreciate the countryside around Wantage. The Museum also includes a Tourist Information Centre, a successful Art Gallery, and a Book Shop. There is a Children's Club and Friends Association as well as research and identification services. Even the local newspaper is based at the museum. The Museum is based on a converted 17th century cloth-merchant's house - a fine example of local vernacular architecture. Behind it, in a new extension with 20th century wooden crucks spanning two floors, are the visitor facilities.
