on how to improve Great Milton.

We need as many residents of all age groups

and how successful it has been in

Welcome

Hello. This is Great Milton's own website, for the people of Great Milton, about the people of Great Milton by the people of Great Milton.

For those of you researching our village we have set out all the facilities and places of interest available to the public. For the residents of Great Milton we will, over time, develop useful links to local services and information. Your Parish Council hopes it will help everyone keep in touch with what is happening in the whole of our Parish.

This is just a starting point, we hope this site will develop to become the point where we can all access local information about the Parish Council. We also hope it will be a link to other community organisations in the area which may not have their own website.  If there are any links or information you would like to see included that are not already here, get in touch.

We want to involve local people and organisations in what is happening in the Parish and welcome constructive suggestions for future development of the website. Let us know what you think.

Ken Rogers,
Chairman Great Milton Parish Council

Location

Great Milton lies in an undulating plain, with the Chilterns to the east and the city of Oxford to the west.

The Village is an interesting combination of very old properties, 30’s and 40’s houses and through the years to modern day dwellings, bungalows and affordable housing, all this surrounded by farms and farmland.

The church of St Mary the Virgin stands at one end of the village amongst large country houses - some of these were built for Oxford dons (when it was much healthier to live away from the City), and others that were involved in the Civil War (both sides), and of course a manor and a priory.

The village green, surrounded by old thatched cottages, the pub and newer houses is the centre of the village with a road running down to the Shop, Post office, Methodist Church and primary school and on to the much larger village of Wheatley.

In the opposite direction, lies the older part of the village - large houses, the church and the manor (now Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons) on the eastern boundary.

Again, using the green as the centre, the third road runs uphill towards the A329, with a mixture of bungalows, older properties and affordable housing and then on to open fields.

Great Milton is a community full of ideas - with football, tennis and cricket clubs, nursery schools, keep fit, cycling, a choir, neighbours club, bell ringers and junior sports - a proper village!
