WENDLEBURY

The older houses in Wendlebury are constructed from local stone, some of which may have been removed from the ruins of the Roman town of Alchester which is just to the north of the village. A small stream runs through the village, first on one side of the main road and then on the other. Watercress was once harvested from the stream and was sold in local markets.

Right on the edge of the village, very close to the A41 motorway link road, is the Grade II listed parish church of St. Giles. The building has had a chequered history, having been partially demolished and rebuilt several times since the original Norman church was built. Full information about St. Giles' Church can be found here,

Wendlebury is just off the A41 trunk road about 2 miles south-west of Bicester close to the junction of the A41 and the M40 motorway.
