Banbury is a town built by Anglo-Saxons on the west bank of the River Cherwell. Grimsbury was built on the opposite bank of the river and was apart of Northamptonshire until it was merged with Banbury in 1889. The same was the case for Neithrop, one of the oldest parts of Banbury. During the English Civil War, Banbury played an important role as it was the nerve centre for Oliver Cromwell’s planning of the Battle of Edgehill. This was reputedly carried out in Ye Olde Reine Deer Inn on Parsons Street and can be visited still today.
Banbury is world renowned for it’s “cross” due to the nursery rhyme “Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross”. The rhyme refers to one of the three crosses (The High Cross, The White Cross and The Bread Cross which were destroyed by the Puritans in July 1600. It was 259 years before Banbury Cross was erected in 1859, to commemorate the marriage of Queen Victoria’s daughter to Prince Frederick of Prussia.
