Fencott

Fencott is a hamlet between the River Ray and Otmoor in the civil parish of Fencott and Murcott, about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Bicester in Oxfordshire, England.

In 1542 the Crown granted most of the land at Murcott to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey.

[1] They retained it until the end of the 19th century, when it passed to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.

[1] In about 1180 the Abbot of Abingdon gave this holding in an exchange of land to one William Turpin.

[1] At the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530s the land passed to the Crown, which disposed of it in 1553.
