Background

History

Cornwell was listed in the Domesday Book of 1096 as "Cornewelle" in the ancient hundred of Shipton. Some of the cottages in the village were built in the 17th century. In 1939 Clough Williams-Ellis remodelled all the cottages in Cornwell and remodelled the former village school in neo-Georgian style as the village hall.

Description

The ancient hamlet of Cornwell is located centrally on Cornwell Estate, comprising 12 cottages. Cornwell Estate covers between Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, and Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire. A large portion of the estate is under agriculture, farmed in stewardship schemes. There are also areas of wetland, lakes, streams, and woodland.
