Great Tew

Great Tew is an ancient Oxfordshire village located 5 miles east of Chipping Norton on the slopes of a limestone ridge overlooking the Worton Valley. Regularly described as one of the most beautiful villages in England, it is also one of the most interesting. Already a substantial settlement at the time of the Domesday Book, it had a notable role to play in both the civil war and the industrial revolution. In recent years many of the 17th century cottages have been sympathetically restored and the village is now a lively and welcoming community with an excellent pub, an outstanding school, a proper village shop and the only cricket club in the county to have its own bar/restaurant.
