  • Clifton Past and Present
    Clifton Past and Present L.E. Gardner, 1955 Clifton, as its name would imply, stands on the side of a hill – ‘tun’ or ‘ton’ being an old Saxon word denoting an enclosure. In the days before the Norman Conquest, mills were grinding corn for daily bread and Clifton Mill was no exception. Although there is no actual mention by name in the Domesday Survey, Bishop Odo is listed as holding, among other hides and meadows and ploughs, ‘Three Mills of forty one shillings and one hundred ells, in Dadintone’. (According to the Rev. Marshall, an ‘ell’ is a measure of water.) It is quite safe to assume that Clifton Mill was one of these, for the Rev. Marshall, who studied the particulars carefully, writes, ‘The admeasurement assigned for Dadintone (in the survey) comprised, as it would seem, the entire area of the parish, including the two outlying townships’. The earliest mention of the village is in 1271 when Philip Basset, Baron of Wycomb, who died in 1271, gave to the ‘Prior and Convent of St Edbury at Bicester, lands he had of the gift of Roger de Stampford in Cliftone, Heentone and Dadyngtone in Oxfordshire’. Another mention of Clifton is in 1329. On April 12th 1329, King Edward III granted a ‘Charter in behalf of Henry, Bishop of Lincoln and his successors, that they shall have free warren in all their demesne, lands of Bannebury, Cropperze, etc. etc. and Clyfton’. In 1424 the Prior and Bursar of the Convent of Burchester (Bicester) acknowledged the receipt of thirty-seven pounds eight shillings ‘for rent in Dadington, Clyfton and Hampton’.

There is an excellent pub/ restaurant The Fox Inn, a Norman church and chapel, a village hall, plus play area and playing field. Banbury and Brackley are both within easy distance with a good range of shopping and leisure facilities, plus there are shops in many of the nearby villages.

The M40 motorway at junction 10 is about three miles away and access to both Northampton and Milton Keynes is also straightforward. Magpie Cottage... The beautiful facade in stone is just the start. It's a house with more than enough accommodation for any family. It's bright inside with large bespoke oak windows, as the sun moves round the house the light change from room to room make it feel very "alive". All rooms have a pleasant outlook, but those facing over the fields enjoy a real treat. Sitting in a triangular plot, there is more than ample garden. The setting on The Hill could not be bettered with its view towards the Norman Church and the fields behind.

  • A Fairly Complete History and Tour of Aynho Village – Updated January 2017 Aynho Is a Two-Part Name
    A Fairly Complete History and Tour of Aynho Village – updated January 2017 Aynho is a two-part name - ‘Ayn’ is either a corruption of a Saxon personal name, or more likely the Saxon word for a spring or stream. The ‘Hoh’ is a Saxon word for a promontory/projecting ridge of land standing on a plain as Aynho does. The earliest mention (in the Domesday Book) of an owner of the manor of Aynho is Asgar - a Danish thane (knight). He was standard bearer for Edward the Confessor who reigned from 1042 to 1066. (Edward was born at Islip about fifteen miles south east of Aynho, so he probably knew Asgar). The entry showed 3¼ hides (about 400 acres altogether), land for 8 ploughs, a mill and 20 acres of meadow. Why was Aynho so relatively important in the mid-ten hundreds? Probably because of its location high up overlooking the whole Cherwell valley. There were very few significant houses in existence within a radius of twenty miles at that time, and it is believed that Aynho had a substantial wooden Saxon manor house then. For example Oxford Castle was not built until 1073, Banbury Castle 1135, Broughton Castle 1300, Rousham House 1635 and Upton House 1695. The first proper Oxford College, University College, wasn’t founded until1249. Apart from Aynho north of Oxford only Sulgrave Manor is recorded as having an Anglo-Saxon Manor House around the late 9th century. William the Conqueror gave the village to one of his barons, Geoffrey de Mandeville, for helping him win the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

APPLICATION SITE AND LOCALITY 1.1. The application site lies at the western extent of the village of Finmere. An old section of the Banbury Road, which has limited vehicle access, runs to the south of the site. Further to the south of the site is the A421 and then open countryside. The north edge of the site lies adjacent to existing residential properties including 1 Top Gardens and Flower Patch, whilst the north west of the site lies adjacent to Heatherstone Lodge. The garden of Westbury End runs along the northern part of the eastern boundary of the site. To the south east and south west of the site is open countryside. 1.2. The site slopes from approximately 121m AOD adjacent to the southern boundary to approximately 116m AOD to the north. Therefore the land rises slightly from the main part of the village to the north. The site also falls away to the west and north west. It is approximately 1.4 hectares, comprises agricultural grass land, which currently appears to be used for grazing. There are no buildings or structures on the site. There is a pond on the western boundary of the site. There are a number of public footpaths which cross the site including 213/10/10, 213/10/20, 213/1/30 and 213/1/40.
