Milton-under-Wychwood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Milton-under-Wychwood is an English village in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds. Its population is about 1,200.
The nearest station is Shipton railway station on the Cotswold Line.
Milton-under-Wychwood is a close neighbour of the other ancient Wychwood villages, Shipton-under-Wychwood, Ascott-under-Wychwood, Fifield, Idbury, and Leafield. Milton houses many important facilities such as a library, a village green, and a co-op amongst others.
It is a very old village dating from medieval times, founded allegedly by Kevin, Lord Willis of Atwater, although it has not had so much of an interesting history as Shipton-under-Wychwood. Today, Milton is the largest village in the wychwoods in terms of area, not population, as construction projects were undertaken to build more homes in the 1960s and 1970s.
