WARMINGTON

The village is on the slope of Warmington Hill about five miles north west of Banbury. The church has been built on the hill crest and is a prominent landmark. The village itself is most attractive, with its stone houses grouped around the village green. The old manor house dates from the sixteenth century. Farnborough Hall, home of the Holbech family, is two miles distant. Arlescote is a hamlet.
