Chadlington is a village and civil parish in the Evenlode Valley about 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, England. The village comprises five "ends" - almost individual hamlets in their own right - called Greenend, Brookend, Westend, Millend, and Eastend.

History

One of the earliest signs of human occupation in the parish is the Neolithic enclosure of Knollbury 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest of the village. It is a scheduled monument.

Chadlington village existed by the time of Domesday Book in 1086 and may be named after Saint Chad.[2]

The Church of England parish church of Saint Nicholas was originally Norman,[3] and the blocked head of a Norman window above the north arcade show that the building had a clerestory in Norman times.[3] In the 13th century Early English Gothic north and south aisles were added, with four-bay arcades linking the aisles with the nave.[4] Both aisles still retain some lancet windows from this period.[5]

The bell tower was built early in the 14th century in the Decorated Gothic style.[5] A chapel was added at the east end of the north aisle. The chapel's east and north windows in the Transitional style between Decorated and Perpendicular Gothic date it to of the chancel about the middle of the 14th century.[5] Later pure Perpendicular Gothic additions include the windows and north door in the north aisle, the present clerestory and nave roof and the chancel arch.[5] In 1870 the Gothic Revival architect Charles Buckeridge completely rebuilt the chancel.[5]

The tower has a ring of six bells. Abraham I Rudhall of Gloucester[6] cast the two oldest in 1714.[7] William Taylor of Loughborough cast two more including the tenor in 1846[7] at the bellfoundry he then had in Oxford.[6] Thomas Bond of Burford[6] cast another of the bells in 1911.[7] Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast the present tenor bell in 2006.[7] There is also a Sanctus bell that Thomas Bond cast in 1911.[7]

In 2001 the Church of England Benefice of Ascott-under-Wychwood, Chadlington and Spelsbury merged with that of Enstone and Heythrop to form the Chase Benefice.[8]

Chadlington is the birthplace of Sir Henry Rawlinson (1810-1895), and his brother Canon George Rawlinson (1812-1902). Ivan Cameron, son of Conservative Party Leader and Prime Minister David Cameron is buried at Chadlington.[9]

Amenities

Chadlington used to have a public house, the Tite Inn which closed in 2009.[10]

Chadlington Football Club plays in the Oxfordshire Senior Football League. Chadlington Cricket Club plays in the Oxfordshire Cricket Association League.[11] Chadlington Sports and Social Club is the home ground of both clubs.[12]

An annual fun run is held along Coldron Brook: The Great Brook Run. Proceeds of the race, which starts and ends at The Tite Inn, go to the local primary school and the constituency's MP David Cameron has taken part in the event.[13]
