Southmoor

At the time of the Domesday Book the manor was held by Abingdon Abbey and Draycot Moor was listed as being in Berkshire.

Southmoor's retailers are Gilt and Grain (furniture store: converted from the previous Methodist Church), One Stop, the Co-op, Aquarius hairdressers and Crossroads garage.

[citation needed] The village is served by Stagecoach and other smaller bus company services.

Frequent public transport facilities make Southmoor a convenient dormitory for working and shopping in Oxford.

Dr. David Kelly, microbiologist and distinguished UN-sponsored weapons inspector, was a Southmoor resident; Dr. Kelly disappeared in July 2003, and the finding of his body soon afterwards on nearby Harrowdown Hill led to a public enquiry concluded by the Hutton Report.
