Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Oddington is a village and civil parish about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Bicester in Oxfordshire, England. The village is close to the River Ray on the northern edge of Otmoor. The toponym comes from the Old English for "Ot(t)a''s Hill", possibly after the same person who gave his name to Otmoor. A mention of Oddington in a Papal bull written in AD 1146 suggsts that the village had a parish church by the middle of the 12th century. The present Church of England parish church of Saint Andrew was built at the end of the 13th century and beginning of the 14th century. The buttresses of the nave are late 13th century, and the font is probably also from that century. Some features of the chancel are early 14th century. In 1821 the chancel was demolished and rebuilt. Between 1884 and 1886 the church was heavily restored by the architect E.G. Bruton. He rebuilt the bell tower and the north wall of the chancel, and added the vestry, north aisle and several windows. At the west end of the church is a large pietà decorated with M ori totems, created as a memorial to M ori servicemen killed in the First World War. The tower has four bells.
