    Wantage Facts – Did you know…

    1. Great!
      Born in the town in 849 CE, Alfred the Great is one of the most important figures in British history. As King of Wessex, his military leadership saved Britain from Viking rule. It was his vision to create a single kingdom, Engla Land.
    2. The Wantage Code
      England’s first king was Alfred’s grandson, Athelstan who laid out The Wantage Code. These were the laws of this new country, using both English and Scandinavian language, for the resident Anglo-saxons and large number of Viking settlers.
    3. Robin Hood?
      Local man Fulk Fitzwarin became an outlaw after his boyhood friend King John refused to help him reclaim his family’s castle and titles. Living in woodland and determined to retrieve his family home, he fought with Sheriff of Shropshire and his men. Some believe much of the Robin Hood legend was based on Fulk.
    4. Oh No He Didn’t!
      The Fitzwarin story doesn’t end there. The church is the resting place to many Fitzwarins, including, Ivo Fitzwarin. Born in 1444, he was a Lord, ealdorman, London merchant, and father of Alice Fitzwarin who married Dick Whittington (yes, the guy in the panto!). And they lived happily ever after.
    5. John Betjeman
      Another notable resident was Sir John Betjeman. The poet Laureate lived in and wrote poems about the town. During his time in Wantage he even released several albums of his work.
    6. Walk It Off
      A series of heritage trails and nature walks run through the town and surrounding area. If you’re keen to explore the landscape and learn a few interesting facts along the way, then drop by the Vale and Downland Museum for maps.
