Bodicote is a village and civil parish about south of the centre of Banbury in Oxfordshire. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 2,126. ==History== The Domesday Book of 1086 records a windmill that stood next to the grove at the top of Bodicote. Sor Brook, which forms the southern boundary of the parish, has a watermill. The Church of England parish church of Saint John the Baptist has existed since at least the 13th century, and its chancel arch dates from that time. The building has north and south aisles linked to the nave by 14th century arcades of three bays each. There used to be a bell tower over the north aisle. In 1844 the architects John Plowman and H.J. Underwood effected an almost complete rebuilding of St. John's that included demolishing the old tower and replaced it with the current west tower. The tower has a ring of eight bells, all from the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and tenor bells were cast by Thomas II Mears in 1843 and the treble, second and third bells were cast in 1974.〔 Bodicote House is a large Georgian house with a number of Victorian additions. It is now the main office for Cherwell District Council.〔(Cherwell District Council )〕 Bodicote Methodist church was built in 1845. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bodicote」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
