The ParishThe parish of Oxenhall lies in northwestern Gloucestershire, indeed it forms part of the border with neighbouring Herefordshire. Oxenhall is located about a mile northwest of the market town of Newent in a network of lanes to the north of the B4221 road which links Newent with the Herefordshire town of Ross on Wye. There is not much of a village as such to Oxenhall, merely a scatter of farms and cottages across the parish. Oxenhall is sited in pleasant rolling countryside largely used for pasture. The parish lies in the drainage area of the Ell Brook, a tributary of the River Leadon which heads southeastwards to the Severn. The parish is sited at about 50 metres above sea level but land rises and falls 10 metres or so around it. The parish was of average size for this area at around 1,900 acres and supported in the region of 300 parishioners. In Domesday times the land was held by Roger de Lacy and supported 7 ploughs. |
