Swinbrook Part One
Swinbrook is a delightful village within walking distance of Burford.It was the childhood home of the Mitford sisters, parodied in Nancy Mitford's 'The Pursuit of Love'. Nancy, Unity and Diana are buried to the west of the church. The church has work of c1200 but the exterior is Decorated and Perpendicular with a western bell tower added in 1822. It is famous for the Fettiplace monuments, six generations of whom recline on shelves on the north wall of the chancel. A path through the churchyard leads to St. Oswald's church lost in the river meadows along the banks of the Windrush. The Windrush runs through a ford in the middle of village which seems remote and timeless. There is a wonderful pub which was once a water mill and is owned by the Duchess of Devonshire, nee Deborah Mitford and a picturesque cricket ground.

Asthall Manor, Asthall, The Mitfords Beloved First House
Curiously The Mitfords did not go to Asthall Church but rather the one in Swinbrook as Lord Redesdale their father felt he could control the sermons easier. One other curiosity with Asthall Manor is that the girls had to share bedrooms as there were insufficient to go round one of the reasons he had a new house built. Deborah (Debo) the Dowager Lady Devonshire the youngest sister has just sadly dies (sept 2014) so eyewitness memories of this period are now lost.
