Enstone

[7] In 1856, St Kenelm's was restored under the direction of the Oxford Diocesan architect G. E. Street,[6] and the lych gate[7] and west doorway were added.

[6] A stained-glass window installed in the north aisle as a First World War memorial may have been done by Morris & Co.[7] St Kenelm's is a Grade II* listed building.

[9] East of St Kenelm's church is a medieval tithe barn built for Winchcombe Abbey, a Benedictine monastery in Gloucestershire that owned the manor of Enstone.

[14] According to John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870–1872), there were also Baptist and Roman Catholic congregations in the village at that time.

Also in Neat Enstone are shops, including a post office and general store and an art gallery,[18] and a retirement home.

There is a filling station with a shop and coach-hire services on the main A44 on the south side of the village towards Woodstock.

The site of the former RAF buildings has been redeveloped as an industrial estate and the north-western perimeter of the airfield turned into a poultry farm.

Enstone in bygone times is described in Lifting the Latch, a biography of the farm labourer Mont Abbott, by Sheila Stewart.

South-east of Enstone Aerodrome is a disused quarry, now the site of the Whiteways Technical Centre, where the Formula One motor racing Alpine F1 Team is based.

[27] Thomas Bushell (c. 1593 – 1674) was a servant of Francis Bacon who went on to become a mining engineer and defender of Lundy Island for the Royalist cause during the Civil War.

There he found a spring and rock formation which he turned into an attraction as a grotto, and eventually a collection of water-powered special effects ('giochi d’aqua') which became known as 'Bushell's Wells' or the ‘Enstone Marvels’.

There is a detailed description in Robert Plot’s Natural History of Oxfordshire (1677), including some engraved illustrations.

On a subsequent royal visit (on 23 August, 1636), the rock was presented to Queen Henrietta Maria in a kind of masque with music by Henry Lawes, for which Bushell himself provided some verse.
