Shutford is a village and civil parish about 4.5 miles west of Banbury in Oxfordshire. The village is about 475 feet above sea level. In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Shutford like this:
The name Shutford is derived from Scytta's Ford. In the fourteenth century the village was quite large. 20 people were assessed for tax in 1327. In 1377 there were 86. A fire in 1701 destroyed 24 houses. Some houses were rebuilt and modernised. In 1774 71 houses were recorded. In the Middle Ages there were 3 manors in Shutford. The manor house appears to have been built in the 16th century. In the Civil War, Viscount Saye and Sele supported the Parliamentarians. Plush
and shag weaving was established in 1747 and became the village's main claim to fame.
