Nestling on the southern slopes of the Golden Valley some 4 miles west of Cirencester, is the village of Frampton Mansell. Known as Moises Frampton in the Domesday Book, it was held by Robert de Todens as part of the manor of Sapperton; in the mid thirteenth century it passed, by marriage, into the Mansell family and became an independent Manor and thereafter became known as Frampton Mansell. Agriculture was the main employeer and there were at least two Mills, the cloth industry provided some employment from the 16th to the 19th centuries and even up to the 1970`s agriculture was still to the fore, but the attractive situation of the village has attracted more professional people to move into the area. The oldest part of the village lies in the Golden Valley, the northern part of the village contains a number of houses dating from the 17th century including; Lower Manor Farm and Little Hattons, Frampton House was greatly enlarged and altered in the 19th century to make a Gothic-style dwelling. One of the oldest buildings in the village is the Crown Inn dating from 1633. A school house was built in 1833 for 20 children but was closed by 1879, the Church of St.Luke was build by Lord Bathurst in 1843 in the neo-Norman style with an Italianate bell tower. With superb views of the Golden Valley, Frampton Mansell makes an ideal base in which to explore the unique landscape of the Cotswolds.
