    Ascott-under-Wychwood is a beautiful and historic village in the Evenlode Valley.

    On the village green stands a chestnut tree and a bench in memorial to the 16 local women, known as the Ascott Martyrs. In 1873 they campaigned for better wages and conditions for agricultural workers, eventually sparking a riot in Chipping Norton and receiving a pardon from Queen Victoria.

    Ascott's 16th-century manor house stands within the bailey of the ancient castle Ascott d’Oyley. Some original medieval features remain, such as the mullioned windows.
