Middleton Cheney is a village and civil parish in South Northamptonshire, England. The village is about east of Banbury in Oxfordshire and about west-northwest of Brackley. The A422 road between Banbury and Brackley used to pass through Middleton Cheney, but now bypasses it to the south. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 3,597. ==Archaeology and history== Traces of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Roman settlements have been found in the parish. An open field system of farming prevailed in the parish until the 18th century. Parliament passed an Inclosure Act for the parish in 1769 and the parish was surveyed for its inclosure awards in 1770. There is a row of 19th-century almshouses on the former main road through the village. In 1847 Parliament passed a bill for the Buckinghamshire Railway to build an extension to Banbury. It was built through the south of Middleton Cheney parish, and Farthinghoe railway station was opened in the parish in 1851. It was in the southeast corner of the parish, from the village, on the main road to Brackley. British Railways closed the station in 1952 and the railway in 1963. The Holt was a house in the parish designed by William Wilkinson. It built in 1864 and demolished in 1973. The parish used to include the village of Overthorpe, which is now a separate parish. 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「Middleton Cheney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
