| Amport Village Design Statement - Nov 1999 (2072 words) |
| Amport is a straggling village centred around its village green, adjacent to its school and to the Pillhill Brook, all of which are much valued assets to the village and its inhabitants. |
| Other special considerations for the villages are the Hawk Conservancy, Amport House, the disused watercress beds, which are about to be converted into a trout fishing lake and stock ponds, the village school, the village church and the village inn, with its own green facing up the valley of the brook towards Monxton. |
| Amport Village school has a catchment area far beyond the village of Amport and is much acclaimed for its educational excellence and its strong musical tradition. |
