Wantage news Today's headlines from the town and surrounding areas:
King Alfred was born in 849 AD in Wantage at a time when it was an important Saxon centre. The towns buildings are mostly 17th and 18th century with narrow cobbled streets and passages.
The Church of St Peter and St Paul, part of which is 13th century contains tombs of the Fitzwaryn family into which Dick Whittington - three times Lord Mayor of London - married. Wantage lies at the foot of the Downs and there are numerous racing stables in surrounding villages. Nearby is the historic, probably pre-Roman, Ridgeway track running from Ashbury to Streatley on the Thames.
Wantage is also in the heart of an area of high technology close to AEA Technology, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Culham Laboratory, Esso Research Centre and the Williams Motor Racing Centre.
The town is undergoing great change with a new shopping centre about to be built. The "in town" supermarket will be a useful addition to the shops in Wantage. The town centre is being refurbished and the Town Council are keen to see new shops and businesses move into the town and the nearby Wantage Business Park.
Wantage has a thriving social life with many clubs and local organisations. Music is important with a brass band in the first division and an operatic society. A month long festival of music and arts is held in June and July. There is a Dickensian Evening before Christmas when shops open late and the Town Mayor and town Crier lead the townspeople and visitors around the town.
