  • Loxley and Its Landowners in Roman Times the Road from Stratford Upon
    Loxley and its Landowners In Roman times the road from Stratford upon Avon to the Fosse Way followed the line of the modern road to Ettington (Banbury Road). In the middle ages the same road was used as a saltway. Loxley was linked to this road by an ancient track that ran close to the site of the modern Grove Hill Farm and Goldicote House, leaving the modern Wellesbourne to Stratford Road where it abruptly turns northwest at the west of the village. Evidence for this is to be found in a lease granted in 985 AD by Oswald, archbishop of Worcester, for five houses in the neighbouring parish of Tiddington. The description of the boundary of the property includes “salt mere on clæg broc” {salt mere to clay brook} and “on loc setena gemære” {by the boundary of the inhabitants of Loxley}. The Anglo- Saxon word “gemære” became “meer” and is retained today as in Meer Hill Farm near this point. Just to the east of the Church another track ran southeast past Oakham Farm towards Walton and Ettington and this was the main route from Wellesbourne to Ettington before Red Hill was turnpiked in 1754. Loxley Farm, which lies between these two tracks, is the oldest surviving building in the village that has not been substantially modified and it probably lay in a hollow before the road near the church was lowered (the old level of the land can be seen near the church gate and the track to the Old School House). However, archaeological evidence suggests that the medieval village of Loxley lay to the south of the Church and documents relating to the ownership of Loxley Manor after the Dissolution of the Monasteries (1538) indicate that the farm now known as Home Farm is probably on the site of the ancient manor.
