Ducklington is a village and civil parish on the River Windrush 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Witney in West Oxfordshire.
The Dyve family then held the Lordship of Ducklington throughout the 13th and 14th centuries, living there until early in the reign of Edward III.
William and Henry III Bagley of Chacombe in Northamptonshire cast the second, fourth and fifth bells in 1708.
[4] The modern Ducklington Church of England Primary School is across the village green from the original site.
[7][8] Ducklington is notable for the rare fritillary flower (mainly of the snake's head variety), many of which grow in a specially designated meadow just outside the village.
However, the national drive for food production during the war meant that most meadows were intensively ploughed, the rivers dredged, and consequently the fritillaries were lost.
Once a year, the local community celebrates Fritillary Sunday when the field, parish church and hall are opened so that the public may walk among and enjoy the flowers.
[citation needed] Ducklington has one public house: The Bell, and a sports and social club.
