Heythrop
Heythrop is a village and civil parish just over 2 miles (3 km) east of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.[1] Heythrop had a Norman parish church of Saint Nicholas, but the nave has been demolished and only the chancel has been preserved as a mortuary chapel.[2] In 1657 an attempt to merge the Benefices of Enstone and Heythrop was abandoned in the face of local opposition.[3] In 1923 the incumbent of Heythrop ceased to live in the parish and in 1964 it and Enstone were finally merged.It was gutted by fire in 1831 and restored to designs by the architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1871 for Albert Brassey.
