Freeland Village Design Statement
After months of work our Village Design Statement is finally finished. Many thanks to everyone involved for all the hard work!
Welcome to Freeland
Freeland is an English civil parish within the district of West Oxfordshire and the county of Oxfordshire
Freeland is a small, rural village about 5 miles east of Witney in West Oxfordshire, and 9 miles northwest of Oxford. Its name is derived from the old English word 'fyrth' or 'frith', meaning 'wood', and a small woodland called Thrift Wood. The main road running through Freeland, Wroslyn Road, is named from the 'Wrostling House' - a 19th-century meeting place for professional fighters which no longer exists. At the south is Vincent's Wood, which is is a triangular coppice located down a bridlepath from The Green and is filled with an abundance of bluebells every spring.
