Five miles north of Oxford between the A44 and A34, Kidlington is one of the largest villages in England with a population of over 17,000. Its most celebrated building is the church of St Mary the Virgin, founded in 1220 and Grade I listed. It has a Tudor rectory and a 220ft spire known as 'Our Lady's Needle'. Near St Mary's are almshouses built by Sir William Morton in 1671 in memory of his wife and children. Sir William lived in nearby Hampden Manor in Mill Street. Until 1818, a large section south of Kidlington village was unenclosed common land known as Kidlington-on-the-Green. But, shortly before World War II, it was developed for housing and is now known as Garden City.
