| Great Tew is an ancient Oxfordshire village located 5 miles east of Chipping Norton on the slopes of a limestone ridge overlooking the Worton Valley. Regularly described as one of the most beautiful villages in England, it is also one of the most interesting. Already a substantial settlement at the time of the Domesday Book, it had a notable role to play in both the civil war and the industrial revolution. In recent years many of the 17th century cottages have been sympathetically restored and the village is now a lively and welcoming community with an excellent pub, an outstanding school, a proper village shop and the only cricket club in the county to have its own bar/restaurant.

We live in a
stone house, the main parts of which were built in 1640 (we
are reliably informed). A great part of the village is built
from the dark golden-coloured Hornton stone. Our house lies
at one end of the twisting main street which winds through the
Hook Norton, and was part of the support buildings for
Hook Norton Manor, formerly the home of the d'Oilly family.
The Manor gardens are famed, and open once per year to the public.

| Thorpe
Mandeville is set in the rolling hillsides of rural Northamptonshire,
six miles north-east of Banbury. The small village has existed
for many centuries. The earliest authentic record is in the
Domesday Book survey of 1086 where it is styled ‘Thorp’, the
generic name for a village. The name Mandeville is a corruption
of the family name Amundeville; Richard Amundeville and his
heirs were lords of the manor during the 13th century. In 1282
Richard, and his wife Matilda, were granted a lifetime right
to a weekly market and an annual fair. Find out more by visiting:
