Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Radford is a hamlet in Enstone civil parish about 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. The Roman Catholic chapel of the Holy Trinity was built in 1841 to a design in the Early English style by A.W.N. Pugin. Chipping Norton is a town in the Cotswold Hills in Oxfordshire, England, about 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Banbury. The Rollright Stones, a stone circle 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of Chipping Norton, are evidence of prehistoric habitation in the area. The town's toponym means 'market north town', with "Chipping" (from Old English c ping) meaning 'market'. It is not clear what the original Saxon settlement was north of, but John Blair, Professor of Medieval History and Archaeology at the University of Oxford, suggested in 2000 at a lecture in Chipping Norton Town Hall that Charlbury to the south, now a smaller town, was in Anglo-Saxon times a more important minster town and that Chipping Norton's "nor-" prefix refersto this geographical and pastoral relationship with Charlbury.
