Freeland is a village and civil parish about 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Witney in Oxfordshire.

[3] In 1150 the Abbot of Eynsham granted land called terra de Frithe to one Nicholas of Leigh.

[2] Freeland had several public houses by the later part of the 18th century and one called the Royal Oak was recorded in 1836.

[2] The New Inn was built by William Merry in 1842, sold to Morrells in 1846 and for most of the 19th century was Freeland's only public house.

[2] Most of the land on the west side of Wroslyn Road belonged to the family and was made into a park for the Lodge.

[7] In 1952 a Church of England convent of the Community of Saint Clare moved to the house and in 1960 a Gothic Revival chapel designed by the architect Henry Gordon was added.

[2] The church is high Victorian Gothic Revival, with stained glass and decoration by Clayton and Bell and 13th-century-style paintings of Jesus' Passion and Transfiguration.

[10] The church clock was made and installed by Smiths of Derby in May 1898 and was dedicated to a Sarah Percival.

In May 1969 the clock was taken down, reset and regilded by Judge Brothers of Oxford, and reinstalled by the local Breakspear family.

[2] The second village hall was demolished in 2010, a new one was built in its place and in September 2011 it was officially opened by Prime Minister and Witney MP, David Cameron.

[12] Freeland's one pub, The Oxfordshire Yeoman, is in Wroslyn Road[5] opposite the village hall.
