Chipping Warden is a typically pretty village for the area. Smaller than some of its more famous neighbours but no less picturesque. A good spot to rest and seek refreshment.

Chipping Warden is a Northamptonshire village with a rich history. On the River Cherwell, to the east, are the remains of a Roman villa, while just to the south of the village is an Iron Age hillfort, Arbury Banks. The village sits on the Jurassic Way long-distance trail. Walkers in need of a pitstop will be delighted that there are two pubs: the Griffin and the Rose and Crown.

Memorial bench with inscription "In memory of the USA AF B-17 Bomber crew who lost their lives on December 15, 1944." The Norton B-17 On the 15th of December 1944 B-17G Flying Fortress 43-38973 of the 305th Bomb Group, 422nd Bombardment Squadron based at Chelveston was returning from a bombing mission over the mashalling yards at Kassel in Germany. It had been badly damaged and one engine was out. The aircraft managed to return from the raid but once over the coast it began to have difficulty in maintaining height. The problems were compounded by a complete blanket of fog over England. Not sure of their position they flew lower and lower and eventually collided with the Air Ministry GEE mast on Borough Hill Daventry. The port wing was severed during the collision and the aircraft crashed at Norton Fields killing the crew of nine. On August the 24th 2014 Sywell Aviation Museum carried out an excavation to locate the remains of the aircraft. All artefacts recovered during this excavation may be viewed in a special display within the museum. On the 24th of August 2015 a memorial service was held at the Daventry War Memorial and a plaque was unveiled to the crew by the son and grand daughter of the ball gun turret operator Sgt. Burry. The USAF was represented at the memorial service by Lieut.Col Ford, Commander of the 422nd Medical Squadron USAF from RAF Croughton and sir Tim Boswell, Deputy Lord Lieut. of Northamptonshire representing the county.

The Name The story of a village starts with its name.  Chipping Warden is the village with a market and a hill from which a watch may be kept.  In the Domesday book (1086) Warden is found as Waredon.  The word is compounded from ‘weard’ meaning to watch and ‘dun’ a hill.  The hill referred to is Warden Hill which lies to the East of the village. ‘Chipping’ comes from the Old English verb ‘ceapan’, meaning to buy, and refers to the market which was possibly first held here in Saxon times. The Romans At Chipping Warden Black Grounds, and in a field called the Cauldwells, lived a Roman land proprietor in his villa.  The foundations of the villa were discovered about a hundred years ago, also fragments of Samion and Castor pottery used in the house.  The house included a bathroom 36ft long and 10ft wide which has been excavated, a feature which would not again figure in the homes of the village for several hundreds of years.  Roman coins have been found in the locality dating from A.D. 250-390. The Domesday Survey (1086) William 1, having defeated the English Army under Harold of Hastings, proceeded to deprive the English Lords of their lands bestowing them to Norman Knights.  In 1086 at the time of the Domesday Survey the lands in Chipping Warden which had been previously held by a Saxon named Tosti, were in possession of Cuy de Reinbuedcurt, who held them directly from the King.  At Edgcote, lands which in former times had been held by a Saxon thane named Burred, were handed over to a lord named Walchelin, who held them from the Bishop of Coutanes in Normandy. The market of the village A great distinction of Chipping Warden during the Middle Ages was the possession of a market. By the reign of Henry III, the market was highly successful, for in 1227 the King, at the request of Hugh, Bishop of Lincoln, in whose diocese Banbury lay, withdrew the privilege of the market as it was proving an important rival to the Banbury one. In 1238 the ‘Manor’ of the village had passed to Girard de Furnivall who obtained from the king once more the right to hold a market in the village on a Tuesday. The market was still active in 1362 as an action was taken against the Vicar of Blakesley for disturbing the market – the exact nature of which is not disclosed.  However there is no more mention on the market in history after that time, not even the date on which it ceased to be held, but the base of the Market Cross may still be seen near the Church. The World Wars The village like every English village, made its tragic contribution to the success of the Wars with the lives of some of its men.  The stones in the Church bear testimony to this loss. In the Second World War the aerodrome was built, which enlivened the village with the sound of aircraft and crew.  RAF Chipping Warden opened in 1941 as a Bomber Command Operational Training Unit.  On 1 December 1942 a Vickers Wellington bomber crashed on take off, hitting the control tower and hangars, killing two people and causing many other casualties.  The memorial on the Edgcote House drive (pictured above) commemorates the crew of a Wellington Bomber that crashed there on the 18 April 1945.

Memorial to Wellington Bomber Crew LP286 on the SE edge of Chipping Warden During a training sortie on 18 April 1945 Wellington Bomber LP286 was returning to Chipping warden following engine problems. Following an overshoot and go around the plane stalled and crashed at 14.03 into Edgcote Park south east of the airfield killing all but one. This modern memorial stands at the edge of a wooded area and can be clearly seen from the adjacent path.

The Battle of Edgecote Moor took place 6 miles (9.7 km) north east of Banbury, Oxfordshire, in what is now the civil parish of Chipping Warden and Edgcote, England on 26 July 1469 during the Wars of the Roses. The site of the battle was actually Danes Moor in Northamptonshire, at a crossing of a tributary of the River Cherwell. The battle saw supporters of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, defeat the forces of King Edward IV, leading to the king's capitulation soon afterwards.

Canons Ashby Priory was an Augustinian priory at Canons Ashby, Northamptonshire, England. History The Priory was founded by Stephen la Leye on a site to the south of the present church between 1147 and 1151 in the reign of Henry II. In 1253 the Augustinians were granted a licence to dig the Norwell, which still exists north of the present church, to supply water to the priory. In 1537 after the Dissolution of the Monasteries the Crown granted the priory and its estates to Sir Francis Bryan,[1] a close ally of Henry VIII. Bryan held the estate for only about a year before selling it in 1538 to Sir John Cope,[1] a wealthy Banbury lawyer. Sir John's daughter Elizabeth inherited what is thought to have been the priory farmhouse [wrong – Wilkyns farm was part of John Dryden's inheritance. Copes Ashbie – across the road – was inherited by Elizabeth's brother, who died early leaving his sons as Wards of the Dryden family]. In 1551 she married John Dryden, who extended the building to form the earliest parts of Canons Ashby House. Part of the building survives: the Church of England parish church of St Mary dates from about 1250 and this, together with Canons Ashby House, is now owned by the National Trust. Its power and size can be judged by its outlying buildings which cover a large area of the surrounding countryside. The remains of the priory's hospitalium survive as the monastic building centred on the parish church of Maidford, about 5 miles (8 km) away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canons_Ashby_Priory
