Downton, Wiltshire

Downton shares a name with a television programme about a house full of servants, and has been correcting people about it ever since. It does have the house. Trafalgar Park was handed to Nelson's family by a grateful nation roughly a decade after the man himself stopped being in a position to appreciate the gesture. The rest of the village brews beer, lets the Bournemouth traffic through its western edge, and keeps one eye on a river that has previous.
