Summary Description

The extensive park of Heythrop (the house originally built by Smith of Warwick to designs by Thomas Archer in 1706-c.1720, restored in 1871 by Waterhouse after a fire and extended during its use as a Jesuit College between 1922 and 1969) lies along the top of a ridge in the undulating countryside east of Chipping Norton about sixteen miles north-west of Oxford. The village (which consists only of a few estate houses and cottages, the chancel of the old church, the Victorian church and large Victorian former rectory) lies at the north-west gate to the park and the church is prominently placed as a landmark over a wide area.
