Frampton on Severn
The 'settlement' of Frampton is first mentioned in 1086 in the
Domesday Book - it's population then was 27. Now the village
has over 1100 residents. Frampton is perhaps best known for it's
village green, measuring some 22 acres and reputedly the longest in
Britain. Called Rosamund's Green, it is named after 'Fair
Rosamund' who lived in the Manor House (now Manor Farm) and who was
allegedly seduced by Henry II.
The village is a designated conservation area and has many
buildings of note ranging from cruck cottages to Frampton Court (a
fine Palladian style house built in the 18th Century). St.
Mary's Church dates mainly from the 14th Century and has a fine
example of a 12th Century lead font.
The village is fortunate in having a thriving Community
Association with some 23 affiliated groups covering a wide range of
sporting and social activities - including ourselves.
