Leafield

Leafield is a village and civil parish about 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Witney in West Oxfordshire, England.

The parish includes the hamlet of Langley, 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Leafield village.

The area of forest south of Langley was cleared in 1857–58, leaving straight, regular field boundaries typical of the 18th and 19th century enclosures.

[6] A new Gothic Revival shaft and top were added in 1873 in thanksgiving for the village escaping a smallpox epidemic.

[12] Leafield's school district was expanded in 1873 to include Asthall, Langley and Wychwood.

[16] In January 2012 Caterham F1 announced that they would be moving to Leafield from their original base at Hingham, Norfolk.

[20] The Pearl used to be the Potter's Arms, the Spindleberry and the Navy Oak; it is now a Chinese restaurant, takeaway and bar.

[21] The Wychwood Way, a 37 miles (60 km) circular walking trail, passes through Leafield Lower End.
