More about Woodstock north of Oxford
Woodstock is a small town in Oxfordshire in the
United Kingdom. It is located about 12 kilometres north
of Oxford, 72.75 miles W.N.W. of London.
The town is well known for its Blenheim Palace, where
Winston Churchill was born in 1874 and the grave of
Churchill in nearby Bladon.
The name Woodstock is Anglo Saxon in origin. At that
time, English kings would log in the area of Woodstock
whose name stands for a clearing in the woods.
The little river Glyme, in a steep and picturesque
valley, divides the town into New and Old Woodstock.
The Domesday Book describes Woodstock (Wodestock,
Wodestok, Wodestole) as a royal forest; it is said that
King Alfred stayed at Woodstock in the year 890. Another
famous resident was Ethelred the Unready, who is said to
have held a council there. Henry I may have kept a
menagerie in the park. Woodstock was the scene of King
Henry II's courtship of Rosamund Clifford (Fair
Rosamund). The market of the town was established when
King Henry II gave Woodstock a Royal charter in 1179.
The town was altered greatly during the 17th century,
when the Duke of Marlborough became a permanent
resident. The local inn, the Bear, was capable of
accommodating vast numbers of visitors and horses.
The parish church (dedicated to St Mary Magdalene) has a
doorway of Norman origin. It features a musical clock
which chimes every hour. The town hall of Woodstock was
built in 1766 after the designs of Sir William Chambers,
and there are a number of 17th century buildings in the
centre. The almshouses were erected in 1798 by Caroline,
duchess of Marlborough. Chaucer's House was once home to
the poet Geoffrey Chaucer.
In the past the town prospered on manufacturing gloves
(since from the 16th century). Today it is largely
dependent on tourists, many of whom visit Bleinheim
Palace. The Palace was designed by John Vanbrugh, in a
heavy Italo-Corinthian style. It was designated to John
Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough. Most of the
Palace was paid for by the nation. Churchill was given
this palace in honour for his victories over the French
and the Bavarians at Blenheim in 1704.
The greater part of the art treasures and curios were
sold off in 1886, and the great library collected by
Charles Spencer, earl of Sunderland, the son-in-law of
the first duke of Marlborough, in 1881. The magnificent
park contains Fair Rosamund's Well, near which stood her
bower. On the summit of a hill stands a column
commemorating the duke. Blenheim Park forms a separate
parish.
