LOCATION
The quiet, rural village of Compton is set in the folds of the
rolling Berkshire Downlands, in an A.O.N.B. and has a long history,
being mentioned in the Domesday Book and with local evidence of
earlier Roman occupation.
The beautiful flint walled Parish Church of St Mary and St
Nicholas retains some Norman features and there are numerous
examples of attractive, period cottages and houses, including the
Grade II Listed 17th Century Compton Manor, reflecting the growth
of the village over the centuries from its earliest origins as a
small hamlet and in particular the expansion of the village over
the last 150 years. The village is now a thriving community with a
modern health centre, village Post Office Stores, Hotel with
restaurant and excellent primary and secondary schools, notably the
Downs Secondary School which has built up an enviable reputation
for academic standards in recent years and now boasts its own VI
form and excellent Ofsted ratings. In addition to having well
revered local state primary and secondary schooling, the area is
also extremely well served by an excellent range of private
schooling, of particular note; Cranford House School, The Oratory
Preparatory School, Moulsford Preparatory School, St Andrews
Preparatory School, The Oratory School, Pangbourne College,
Brockhurst & Marlston House, Downe House, Rupert House School,
Shiplake College, The Abbey School, Bradfield College, The Manor
Preparatory School, Abingdon School, Abingdon Preparatory School,
Radley College, and St Helen & St Katharine.
Farming has always been important to the village and is still a
major way of life today. The village also has a long standing
connection with the breeding and training of racehorses with a
racing stable still existing in the village and with other
prominent training establishments in the local area.
Compton has good road communications, notably via the fast A34
dual carriageway at East Ilsley some 2 miles to the West linking
Newbury and Oxford and with the M4 easily accessible at Junction 13
Chieveley . The nearby expanding town of Didcot has an established
shopping centre and a mainline station providing fast commuter
services up to London Paddington via Reading in well under the
hour. Reading and the M4 at Theale Junction 12 can both be reached
via a quiet cross country route as can Goring on Thames which also
has a mainline station and is easily accessible.
To the North of the village lies the ancient Ridgeway Path which
winds its way over the Downs eventually crossing the Thames at
Streatley and on up into the Chilterns.
Crossrail Elizabeth Line services have commenced from Reading,
which together with the electrification of the line has
significantly improved travelling times to East and West
destinations.
