GREAT HASELEY
The parish church, St. Peter's, dates from about 1200. The three-bay arcades linking the nave with the north and south aisles are in a transitional style from Norman to Early English Gothic, as is an external doorway that has been re-set on the west side of the bell-tower. For the history and full information about St. Peter's Church click here. Just to the north of the village, and visible from the A329, is a tower mill, Great Haseley (or Milton Common) Mill. It is thought the mill ended its working life in the early 1900s and consequently a lot of deterioration has taken place. However the mill is being restored by a restoration trust. A number of locations in the village, and also at nearby Little Haseley, have been featured in the well-known
television series Midsomer Murders. Great Haseley is south of the A329 Shillingford to Thame road, about three quarters of a mile south of junction 7 of the M40 motorway. |
