The highest town in
Oxfordshire and once a very important centre of
the wool trade, Chipping Norton was given a
charter by King John to hold a fair to sell wool.
This later changed to a Mop Fair for the hire of
servants and this tradition of street fairs is
still held each year in September. There is a
small lively Theatre in Spring Street, and the
town is well known for its antique trade. |
