The cricket pitch and pavilion is beyond the play area. A well kept facility.

Doynton Village Hall was given to the residents of the Parish of Doynton by Charles Samuel Clarke in 1937, for the purpose of “physical and mental recreation and social, moral and intellectual development”.

This village hall hosts a variety of community events: 'exercise classes, community meetings, exhibitions, dog training classes, concerts, film nights, parties and other social gatherings.' http://www.doyntonvillage.org/village-hall-2.html However, they have had to take steps to avoid being overwhelmed with wedding receptions: 'The hall hosts a limited number ... each year, with preference being given to couples with a connection with the village.' Today the hall was being used to provide refreshments for those who had gathered to remember Dawn, a former resident of Doynton.

The bus shelter and village notice board - all in one.

The long distance path recalls the flight of Charles II and passes through Doynton and the church.

At the junction of Toghill Lane and Church Road. The scene gives an idea of the quiet nature of the village. ----------------------------------- "Doynton's history can be traced back to the Domesday Book (1086) in which the village is mentioned as having two mills. One was probably a corn mill and the other a tucking or fulling mill connected with the Cotswold woollen cloth industry. Both these mills were important to the survival of the village and were referred to again in historical records 500 years later. The tuck mill, however, is not mentioned after the middle of the 17th century. The corn mill continued in use until the 1950s marking nine centuries of service to the village. The mill wheel and old machinery were then broken up and electrically-powered equipment installed. More recently a light engineering firm has taken over the site."

These gates to the church have the initials 'E C'. They remember Elizabeth Canby, who died on 20th April, 1947 aged only 17. A plaque also reads 'The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in.' The arch over the gates is a structure created for the Queen's Silver jubilee and includes a welcoming light.

Doynton's War Memorial is in the churchyard of Image A segment of the original churchyard boundary wall has been cut out and replaced by railings to allow people to see the memorial without entering the churchyard.
