Explore Chipping Norton
Known for
The Chipping Norton Set (David Cameron, Jeremy Clarkson, Rebekah Brooks — the media and political elite who lived here), the Theatre (one of England's finest small theatres), the Bliss Tweed Mill, and a Cotswold market town of real character
A little history
Chipping Norton's position at the heart of the Cotswolds has always attracted the influential — but it became internationally known when it emerged as the nexus of the 'Chipping Norton Set', the intertwined circle of media moguls and politicians centred on David Cameron's Witney constituency. The Bliss Tweed Mill — a magnificent Victorian factory — still dominates the skyline.
The Chipping Norton Theatre is genuinely excellent — pre-West End productions and a wonderful cinema. The Bliss Mill for the Victorian architecture. The Wednesday market. The Rollright Stones — a stone circle older than Stonehenge — is a short drive.
