Places to visit in and around Stratford: Ilmington Ilmington lies in the shelter of the limestone escarpment where springs burst from the hillside babbling along a myriad of channels through the heart of the village.Built from the rusty local ironstone more typical of north Oxfordshire than the oolitic limestone of the Cotswolds a few miles to the south-west, the buildings gather at the base of the hill while linear streets follow the routes onto the sheep downs above. The church once stood next to an early medieval moated manor, it now lies some distance from the roads that skirt the village surrounded by orchards and a maze of narrow pathways. The church is Norman with both north and south doorways surviving. the south door with zigzag decoration. There are Norman windows to the east of these doors and a re-cut Norman chancel arch spans the wide nave. The broad tower is of similar date with substantial butresses, the central one has a window cut through it. The spectacular round tower arch is quadruple-chamfered. The chancel is Early English with a priest’s door and sedilia either side of the altar. The north and south transepts have responds of different dates while the windows were inserted as part of a Victorian restoration. A reset sculptural fragment is set in the wall of the south transept, it depicts a bear baited by dogs. Under the tower is an eroded effigy of a 15th century priest. Immediately outside the south porch is an elaboate gothic monument once covered in ivy now in need of restoration.The church is famed for it’s Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson furnishings which bear the Kilburn woodcarver's famous church mice. The peal of eight bells has been featured on BBC Radio Four. North of the church a chalybeate spring discovered in the 17th century that gained a reputation for it’s healing qualities and part of the well surround can now be seen on the village green. Ilmington is famous for it’s three hundred year old tradition of Morris dancing, one of the few troops that survived the Victorian exodus from the land. www.bwthornton.co.uk
