Church and chapel

Church of England

The Church of England parish church of All Saints was originally 13th century. The west wall of the nave has a recess containing a small bell cast by Henry I Bagley of Chacombe in 1673.^[2] In 1863 the church was almost entirely rebuilt to plans by the architect William White,^[3] who added a bell tower, separate from the church, built over the lychgate.^[4]^[5] It is one of only three such bell towers in Britain to be so sited. All Saints' parish is now part of the Benefice of Shires' Edge along with those of Claydon, Cropredy, Mollington and Wardington.^[6]

Methodist

Great Bourton village hall used to be the Methodist Chapel.

History

In the Battle of Cropredy Bridge in June 1644, the Parliamentarian General Waller saw that the Royalist army was strung out from its position on higher ground near Great Bourton and decided to order an attack. The Royalists pushed Waller's force back to Great Bourton when it met the Royalist Earl of Northampton's brigade of horse.

Amenities

Great Bourton has a pub, The Bell, that is controlled by Hook Norton Brewery.^[7]

Great Bourton's only public transport is bus route 502 between Banbury and Temple Herdewyke in Warwickshire. The current operator is Stagecoach in Warwickshire. There is one bus a day on Saturdays.^[8]
