Chadlington
Chadlington is a village and civil parish in the Evenlode Valley about 3 miles (5 km) south of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.[6] However, it is extremely likely that its site is far older, and by the late Anglo-Saxon period, may have been occupied by a modest timber thegn's hall.[8] The widespread but regrettable local tradition that Chadlington takes its name directly from St Chad is entirely false.In fact, the first element is probably from another Old English personal name, Ceadela, of which other toponymic examples exist but it is not as yet attested outside place-names.[12] It is extremely likely, however, that a church, probably of timber, stood on the site by the late Anglo-Saxon period at the latest.The church's orientation, which is almost south-west/north-east, is somewhat idiosyncratic, and might suggest that it was inserted into the framework of a pre-existing settlement plan.The chapel's east and north windows in the Transitional style between Decorated and Perpendicular Gothic date it to the chancel about the middle of the 14th century.[18] Chadlington used to have three public houses, the Malt Shovel (closed down),[19] the Tite Inn, and the Sandys Arms.Proceeds of the race, which starts and ends at The Tite Inn, go to the parish primary school.
