Archive Notes:

Extract of the information in the VCH on Wheatley and Littleworth from the internet at https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/oxon/vol5/pp96-116. The reference to a workhouse in Wheatley 'Another thatched building was erected in 1834 as a workhouse for Wheatley, (fn. 276)' is almost certainly incorrect, see record 2523 write-up on the Poor Law.

Map by Jack Turner showing Roman aspects of Wheatley which also identifies the Charlgrove (his spelling) or Chalgrove pit at the west end of Westfield.

Field map based on All Souls map 1593.
