Old Down
Hamlet in Gloucestershire, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old Down is a hamlet in South Gloucestershire, near the larger villages of Olveston and Tockington.[1] A tourist attraction called Old Down Country Park now occupies the country house in the village, and there is also a pub, The Fox, as well as several sporting facilities (a cricket club, football pitch and a bowling green).[citation needed]
Old Down Manor was built in 1856 for Thomas Ward Johnson, sold in 1881 to William Hartford and altered by Sir George Oatley, and rebuilt in 1952 after a fire.[2] As of 2013 it was available for weddings and private events.[2] It is on the National Heritage List for England.[2]
