}}Letcombe Regis is a village and civil parish in the Vale of White Horse. It was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred the Vale of White Horse to Oxfordshire. The village is on Letcombe Brook at the foot of the Berkshire Downs escarpment about {{convert|1|mi}} southwest of the market town of Wantage. The 2011 Census recorded the parish population as 578.^[1]

History

The parish includes Segsbury Camp an Iron Age hill fort on the crest of the Downs just over {{convert|1|mi}} south of the village.

The Domesday Book of 1086 records Letcombe Regis. The name may come from the Old English Ledecumbe meaning the "lede in the combe" – i.e. "the brook in the valley."

"Regis" may derive from the Latin 'rex' meaning 'Royal' with 'Regis' meaning The King's, giving, perhaps, "The Kings brook in the valley."

Parish church

The Church of England parish church of Saint Andrew is a Grade II* listed building.^[2]

St Andrew's parish is part of the Ridgeway Benefice, along with the parishes of Childrey, Kingston Lisle, Letcombe Bassett, Sparsholt and West Challow.^[3]

Amenities

Letcombe Regis has a public house, the Greyhound Inn^[4] and a village hall.^[5]

Letcombe has a Non-League football club, Letcombe F.C. which plays at Bassett Road.
