Shipton-under-Wychwood

[2] King James I stayed at Langley in August 1605, and a French servant who died was buried at Shipton.

[5] The de Langley family held the manor of Shipton, Oxfordshire, and Richard Lee in his Gleanings of Oxfordshire of 1574 states that these arms of "Gules, 2 bars or in chief 2 buck's heads cabossed of the 2nd" were then displayed in a stained glass window in St. Mary's parish church at Shipton with a tomb under it.

Shipton Court, the estate of the Lacey family, was built in about 1603[6] but sold to Sir Compton Reade in 1663.

[18] The village has three historic public houses: the Shaven Crown Hotel, The Wychwood and the Lamb Inn.

The Shaven Crown Hotel[19] overlooking the village green was once a guest house run by the monks of Bruern Abbey.

[2] The former leader of the British Union of Fascists, Sir Oswald Mosley stayed at the hotel after his release from internment in 1943.
