A vibrant market town in Oxfordshire Cotswolds
The name ‘Chipping’ is drawn from an old English word ceapen which refers to a market. This market has been in existence since the 13th century and it became famous as a trading point for wool. Chipping Norton is a vibrant market town that lies on the western slopes of the Cotswolds Hills, West Oxfordshire district in Oxfordshire, England.
It was once home to a Norman castle. The St Mary church stands out from the rest in Cotswolds because of its magnificent interior. Chipping Norton not only flourished as a market, but it also was an industrial town; good quality wool and tweed was produced here.
The Bliss Tweed Mill was housed in a factory that had a dome shaped chimney that still stands out today as a landmark for Chipping Norton. William Bliss, the Mills owner, influenced the building of the railway that was used to transport coal that powered the steam engines in the mill. Though it closed doors in 1980, the Mill’s buildings have since been converted to house apartments.
