FREELAND PARISH

Introduction

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 - which is filled with an abundance of bluebells every spring - is a triangular coppice located down a bridlepath from The Green. 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.
