About the village

The village of Ettington is believed to date back to Saxon times and was also a Roman encampment at some time in the past, its position next to the Fosse way (an old Roman road) would give credence to this.

Mention of a Parish Priest in the Domesday Book indicates that the old Holy Trinity Church, now a residential property, existed at this time. The Quaker meeting house, built in 1684, is still in use today with meetings taking place every Sunday at 11am. The Shirley family are one of the main landowners in the village (although they now live in Ireland) and were recorded as Lords of the Manor in the Domesday Book. 

Dr William Croft, composer of sacred music and later the organist at Westminster Abbey was born in Ettington in 1677. Though in those days the village was known as 'Eatington' and this name is still used on some maps.

The village now has a thriving post office, school, preschool, church, Community Centre and pub - these buildings are the main focus of community in the village and the many and varied community groups work very well together to maintain a strong sense of community cohesion.
