Welcome

Welcome to Great Milton's website.

For the residents of Great Milton, your Parish Council hopes this web site will help everyone keep in touch with activities in the village.

We have set out all the facilities and places of interest available to the public. Great Milton is a community full of action - with football, tennis and cricket clubs, nursery schools, keep fit, cycling, a choir, neighbours club, bell ringers and junior sports - a proper village!

Results of the great milton village plan Questionnaire

The Village Plan team were impressed that no less than 249 people from the parish, including those from Milton Common and Middle Ground, responded by completing the Questionnaire. This represents 77% of 324 households. Quite a remarkable figure!
So thank you very much for all your help in making this questionnaire and answers such an important tool in clearly establishing the concerns and issues you feel strongly about. With such a figure, we have discovered what the majority of residents want for the village and it is a vast encouragement that will spur us the villagers, with the Parish Council and other organisations, to follow up all that you have identified.

The next steps are for various ‘focus’ groups to turn your ideas and views into proposed actions. They will liaise with any relevant groups to agree what is feasible. These proposals will then become part of a ‘first draft’ of The Great Milton Plan.

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.
