Flower Delivery to Stonesfield with Clare Florist

Stonesfield is a charming village and civil parish in Oxfordshire.  The village is located on the Taynton Limestone Formation.  The formation is a type of stone called Cotswold that used to be mined as a roofing stone called Stonesfield slate.  Many of the older buildings in Oxfordshire have roofs made from the Stonesfield slate.  Also, it was in these mines that many of the first fossil bones were found, including those of a dinosaur.

The Church of St. James the Great was built in the village in the 13th century.  The chancel arch, north chapel, south aisle, arcade, pisina and most of the west tower from the 13th century are still there.  In the 14th century, certain sections of the church were remodeled with decorated Gothic and the octagonal font was added.  The west tower height was increased in the 15th century.  

There used to be a Methodist chapel in the village.  It first opened in 1827 and a larger one was built in 1867.  The chapel closed late in the 19th century, because of the dwindling congregation.  

St. James Centre used to be the village school, but is now a space that can be used for meetings, parties and much more.  The Village Hall is similar to a community center and they do allow people to hold events there.  

In September, Septembeerfest arrives in Stonesfield.  The festival is a celebration of good beer and lots of live music.  

There is a very nice walking trail that begins in Stonesfield and continues to Combe and Blenheim Great Park before returning to Stonesfield.  This walk is approximately 6.5 miles long and there are plenty of points of interest along the trail.  One of the points of interest is Blenheim Palace, which is located in Blenheim Great Park.  The palace was given to John Churchill after his victory in 1704 against the French and Bavarian troops.  The palace was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1987, because of its architecture and landscaping.
