A little information about Oxfordshire
Banbury in Oxfordshire
Banbury is a historic market town in Oxfordshire. Banbury is a significant commercial and retail centre for the surrounding area of north Oxfordshire and southern parts of Warwickshire and Northamptonshire which are predominantly rural. The Oxfordshire town is home to the world's largest coffee-processing facility, built in 1964. The Oxfordshire town is famed for Banbury cakes, a spiced sweet pastry dish.
History of Banbury in Oxfordshire
The name Banbury may derive from 'Banna', a Saxon chieftain said to have built a stockade in the Oxfordshire town in the 6th century. The name appears as Banesberie in the Domesday Book. Another known spelling for the Oxfordshire town was Banesebury in Medieval times.
History of Banbury in Oxfordshire
During excavations for the construction of an office building in Hennef Way in 2002, the remains of a British Iron Age settlement with circular buildings dating back to 200 BC were found. The site contained many pieces of pottery and stone. Later there was a Roman villa at nearby Wykham Park, providing proof that the Romans settled in this part of Oxfordshire.
The Oxfordshire area was settled by the Saxons around the late 5th century. In about 556 Banbury was the scene of a battle between the local Anglo-Saxons of Cynric and Ceawlin, and the local Romano-British. It was a local centre for Anglo-Saxon settlement by the mid-6th century. Banbury developed in the Anglo-Saxon period under Danish influence, starting in the late 6th century.
The Saxons built the Oxfordshire town on the west bank of the River Cherwell. On the opposite bank they built Grimsbury, which was formerly part of Northamptonshire. Another district, Neithrop, is one of the oldest areas in Banbury, having first been recorded as a hamlet in the 13th century. Both Grimsbury and Neithrop were formally incorporated into the borough of Banbury in 1889.
Banbury Castle was built from 1135 by Alexander, Bishop of Lincoln, and survived into the Civil War, when it was besieged. Due to its proximity to Oxfordshire's county town of Oxford, Banbury was at one stage a Royalist town, but the inhabitants were known to be strongly Puritan. The castle was demolished after the war.
Civil war comes to Oxfordshire
Banbury played a vital role in the English Civil War and acted as a base of operations for Oliver Cromwell, who is reputed to have planned the Battle of Edge Hill in the back room of a local Oxfordshire inn, the Reindeer Inn. The town was pro-Parliamentarian, but the castle was manned by a Royalist garrison who supported King Charles I. In 1645 during the Civil War, Parliamentary troops were billeted in nearby Hanwell for nine weeks and villagers petitioned the Warwickshire Committee of Accounts to pay for feeding them.
