Shutford history

Early Settlement

Iron Age barrows in the neighbouring villages of Sibford Gower and Swalcliffe suggest that the area was inhabited from an early time. Madmarston Hill, a late Iron Age hill camp, is the earliest known settlement in the (Banbury) hundred.

The Manor House

The manor house was built in the last quarter of the 16th century. Built by Sir Richard Fiennes, the MP for Banbury, between 1580 and 1600. A distinguishing feature is the tall staircase tower.

Plush Industry

Banbury was the centre for dyeing, marketing and distributing yarn. In 1841 two thirds of all plush weavers in the country lived in the Banbury area. By 1910 the only handwoven livery plush manufacturer in the world, Wrench’s, based in Shutford supplied plush for the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.
