Wigginton, Oxfordshire

Wigginton is a village and civil parish about 6 miles (10 km) southwest of Banbury in Oxfordshire. The village is beside the River Swere, which forms the southern boundary of the parish. A Channel Four documentary, Hitler's British Girl, investigated the possibility that Unity Mitford gave birth to the son of Adolf Hitler in Hill View Cottage, Wigginton.

Archaeology
About northeast of the parish church is the site of an Iron Age enclosure, on which a large Roman villa was added in about the 2nd century AD. The occupied part of the villa seems to have been reduced in size in the 4th century AD. The site is a scheduled monument. ==Parish church==
Parish church
The nave and north and south aisles of the Church of England parish church of Saint Giles were built late in the 13th century. The chancel is early Decorated Gothic, built in about 1300. Each aisle is linked with the nave by an arcade of three bays. Until 1998 there were only three: the treble cast by Matthew III Bagley of Chacombe, Northamptonshire in 1753, the second cast by George Mears of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1859 and the tenor by Henry Bond of Burford in 1896. ==Amenities==
