Wantage, Oxfordshire, is a market town, situated in the Vale of the White Horse. King Alfred was born here in 849 and there is a statue to him by Count Gleichen in the market place, where you can also find some 18^th-century houses.

The Church of Saint Peter and Paul is a large cruciform building, mostly 13^th-century, but incorporating Perpendicular and later work. A silver plate owned by the church is said to have belonged to Peter the Great. The stalls have both misericords and poppyheads, and there are several fine 14^th-, 15^th- and 16^th-century brasses as well as an alabaster tomb to Sir William Fitzwarren and his wife Alicia, dated 1361. East Lockinge, 3 miles south east, preserves much of a model estate village built in the 19^th century.

To the west of Wantage lies Childrey, an attractive village set under the downs. The cruciform church is mostly Perpendicular and Decorated, and has a l2^th-century lead font with figures of bishops, and 15^th-century chancel stalls and screen. There is also a remarkable collection of brasses.
