Description

Milton-under-Wychwood is a village and civil parish about north of Burford, Oxfordshire, just off the A361 road between Burford and Chipping Norton. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 1,648.HistoryThe village is one of three named after the ancient forest of Wychwood. The others are Shipton-under-Wychwood immediately to the east of the village and Ascott-under-Wychwood about 2mi away.In the 18th century Milton had its own clockmaker, William Green (1722–70).The Church of England parish church of St. Simon and St. Jude was designed by the Gothic Revival architect G.E. Street and built in 1853–54. Street also designed the village school (now closed) and teacher's house, which were built at the same time.Amenities and economyThe village has one public house, The Hare, which is a gastropub. For many years it was the Quart Pot pub, latterly controlled by Greene King Brewery, which closed it in 2010. The brewery sold the pub, and Acres Developments of Bournemouth, Dorset, applied for planning permission to turn the pub into a house. Villagers opposed the conversion and in 2012 West Oxfordshire District Council refused to grant planning permission. Eventually two local entrepreneurs bought the pub in 2015, renovated the building and in March 2016 reopened it as The Hare.
