Synopsis

Examines in detail Chipping Norton's origins, growth, and buildings, and its economic, social, political, and religious history, including its association with the medieval wool trade and the later development of the famous Bliss tweed mill. The surrounding parishes were predominantly agricultural, although Hook Norton developed significant ironstone quarrying in the 1880s-1940s, and is well known for its still-functioning Victorian brewery. The parishes' wider histories are fully explored, notable features including the prehistoric Rollright Stones.
