Nettlebed history

---

Nettlebed village is on an ancient route through the Chiltern Hills between Henley on Thames and Wallingford, which for centuries was part of a trunk route between London and Oxford. The name does mean a nettlebed: a place overgrown with nettles. Only the White Hart in the High Street is still trading and is a Grade II listed building.

Parish church

The Church of England parish of Saint Bartholomew was originally a chapelry of the adjacent parish of Benson. The Empress Matilda gave the benefice of Benson, including chapels at Nettlebed and Warborough, to the Augustinian Abbey at nearby Dorchester, Oxfordshire in 1140. The Medieval church building was replaced in 1845–46 by the present Gothic Revival brick building.

Pottery

Nettlebed supplied ceramic tiles to Abingdon Abbey and bricks to Stonor House. One remaining brick “bottle kiln” is preserved in Nuffield, a Grade II* listed building.

Windmill

Nettlebed had what seems to have been the only smock mill in Oxfordshire. It was a slender octagonal building with four common sails and a fantail. It burned down in 1912 after being moved to a windier site in 1825.
