SITUATION
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 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
prominent racing yard still existing in the village and with many
other well known training establishments in the 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,
with the full service scheduled to commence shortly, which together
with the completed electrification of the line has significantly
improved travelling times to East and West destinations.
