General Information
The village of Frampton Mansell is within the parish of Sapperton with Frampton Mansell, 1.5m west of Sapperton on the south side of the Frome valley and 1m south of Oakridge Lynch on the northern side. It has a population of around 200 with about 60 households in the main part of the village, together with a church, village hall and pub. Along the valley runs the disused Thames & Severn canal, now in a slow process of renovation, and the main train line from Paddington to Cheltenham. The railway viaduct is a well known feature and the occasional steam excursions along the valley are a train spotter's highlight.
