Ascott-under-Wychwood

Ascott-under-Wychwood is a village and civil parish in the Evenlode valley about 4.5 miles (7 km) south of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, England.

[4] Surviving transitional work includes the south porch, and the four-bay arcade between the nave and the north aisle.

Five of these including the tenor bell were cast in 1744 by Henry III Bagley[6] of Chacombe, Northamptonshire, who at the time also had a bell-foundry at Witney.

The OW&WR is now the Cotswold Line and the station is served by Great Western Railway trains.

[4] In 1873 a farmer dismissed several men of Ascott-under-Wychwood because they had formed a branch of the National Union of Agricultural Workers.

16 of the women were arrested, tried by magistrates in Chipping Norton and given short sentences of imprisonment in Oxford Castle.

Their convictions were met with rioting in Chipping Norton, questions in Parliament and a royal pardon from Queen Victoria.
