Ogbourne Maizey

Ogbourne Maizey

Ogbourne Maizey is a hamlet in Wiltshire. It is at the Marlborough end of the village of Ogbourne St. Andrew. The hamlet on the banks of the River Og is dominated by commuter housing and race horse stables on the narrow road that leads over the downs to Rockley. Local primary-level children usually go to the school in Ogbourne St. George or to Marlborough. A map of 1773 shows an almost continuous ribbon of buildings along it between Ogbourne Maizey and Ogbourne St. Andrew[1].

The hamlet has no church but is part of the Ridgeway Benefice that also includes Rockley, Ogbourne St. Andrew, Ogbourne St. George and Chiseldon.
