"William 'Strata' Smith was born in Churchill, Oxfordshire on 23 March 1769. He died in Northamptonshire on 28 August 1839.  Smith was an English geologist, credited with creating the first detailed, nationwide geological map of any country. At the time his map was first published he was overlooked by the scientific community; his relatively humble education and family connections prevented him from mixing easily in learned society. Financially ruined, Smith spent time in debtors' prison. It was only late in his life that Smith received recognition for his accomplishments, and became known as the "Father of English Geology" Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Smith_(geologist) Further info can be found here; https://www.churchillheritage.org.uk/famous-sons/william-smith

Churchill is a small village perched on a high hill in the Cotswolds. The village hosts a number of fascinating buildings, such as the towering 19th-century Church of All Saints and a gothic fountain on the village green. Make sure to check out the fantastic pub, Chequers, whilst you're visiting, which provides a wonderful range of craft beers and gastro food.

Wonderful section of walking through the valley and rolling hills of the Cotswolds countryside near Churchill.

Great cake and coffee

Bruern is a hamlet on the River Evenlode on land that would have once been covered by the great, ancient forest of Wychwood. It was home to a Cistercian Abbey between 1147 and 1536. In 1720 a fine, baroque country house was built on the site of the former abbey. There are plenty of lovely walks nearby. Foxholes Nature Reserve has an excellent wildlife trail, whilst the D'Arcy Dalton Way and Oxfordshire Way both pass through the area.

Sloping down to the banks of the River Evenlode, Foxholes Nature Reserve is a beautiful, serene woodland. The best time to visit is undoubtedly springtime, when the ground is carpeted by a dazzling display of bluebells. Tawny owls, badgers and kingfishers are just some of the animals you might see here on the 1.8-mile (2.9 km) wildlife walk. The badger waymarkers point the route ahead.
