Send flowers to Longcot, Oxfordshire

Flower Delivery to Longcot with Clare Florist

Longcot is the name of both a village and a large civil parish that covers nearly 1,900 acres that once rested in the county of Berkshire, at least until it changed hands in 1974, officially becoming part of Oxfordshire. The green vales of Longcot and the surrounding countryside are a must see for anyone traveling in the area.

For much of its history, Longcot’s economy was based solely on the bustling agricultural community that called it home. Once the canal reached the village in 1805, that changed and the large population began to find new homes. 

The one thing that has not changed is the parish church. This stunning piece of archaic architecture has stood in the same place for centuries.  Dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin, the building was originally assembled in the 13th century.  While the stone still stands, only 1 original window still remains as part of the building.  The bell tower had to be rebuilt in the 1720s, with the 5 bells that called the tower home being recast in 1722.  A 6th bell was later added, in 1729, to complete the cacophonous set.

A branch of the Church of England school has also called Longcot home since 1717.  The school itself is housed in a different building now, but the original structure that was built in the 1700s still stands to this day. The building that houses the school today was built in 1969.

Currently, 574 souls call Longcot home, which is barely 75 more than when the census first began keeping track of the city’s inhabitants in 1871.

One of the most popular locations in Longcot is the pub, The King and Queen.  It is classified as a ‘free house,’ meaning that the pub is not restricted to selling beer from only one brewery. It’s the perfect place to stop for a pint of ale, a quick meal, or simply to absorb some local color.
