Eynsham history
Eynsham grew up near the historically important ford of Swinford on the River Thames flood plain. Excavations have shown that the site was used in the Bronze Age (3000–300 BCE) for a rectilinear enclosure edging a gravel terrace. Evidence has been found of 6th–7th-century Saxon buildings at New Wintles Farm, about three-quarters of a mile (1 km) from the present parish church.
Roads
By the mid-18th century Swinford had a ferry, but the main road was in poor condition. Heavier road traffic between Oxford and Witney preferred to pass further north via Bladon. Eynsham was a major coaching stop on the London–Fishguard road. Since 1922 this has been numbered as the A40.
Industry
Local industries include gravel extraction and a factory for superconducting magnets, Siemens Magnet Technology Ltd. The town is home to a number of industries including gravel extraction.
