SITUATION:

Minster Lovell is a village and civil parish situated on the River Windrush in Oxfordshire, approximately 2 ½ miles west of Witney. Reputedly the region’s most haunted village, Minster Lovell is perhaps best known for the ruins of its 15th century hall and is divided into three distinct parts: Old Minster, Little Minster and New Minster.
Old Minster includes the parish church, the Old Swan Inn public house and Minster Mill Hotel and picturesque ruins of Minster Lovell Hall. Built in the 1430s and after several changes of hands the Hall was abandoned and partially demolished in the 18th century, leaving the extensive remains that stand today in a beautiful rural setting beside the River Windrush.

New Minster benefits from the White Hart public house and a small selection of local shops including Post Office and Convenience Store. The Church of England primary school was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in November 2023.

The village is known for several distinctive 'Charterville’ bungalows built by a progressive 19th century movement that campaigned for electoral reform and created settlements with enough land to support a family.

Further amenities including an extensive selection of high street shops, cinema, cosmopolitan restaurants and tertiary education are available in nearby Witney.

A mainline rail service to Oxford and London Paddington is available from Long Hanborough about 9 miles away with journey times of 9 and 70 minutes respectively. An alternative service to Marylebone (journey time 58 minutes) is available from Oxford Parkway c.15 miles.
