    Faringdon Facts
    Did you know…

    1. Great Bake Off
      The town has a number of royal connections. King Henry III once visited and King Edward passed away while staying in the town. Local myth claims it’s where Alfred the Great burnt the cakes.
    2. Fiiiiight!
      In 1387 the Battle of Radcot Bridge took place between Robert De Vere, Earl of Oxford and Henry Bolingbroke, Earl of Derby. Henry’s troops broke, many deserted and the Earl was forced to swim across the river to escape and fled to France. He later became King Henry IV.
    3. Not Very Civil
      Faringdon was attacked twice during the English Civil War. In 1644 Cromwell led an assault on the town and heavily fortified Faringdon House, home to the Pye family. The town was captured but the house stood firm.
    4. Oliver’s Army
      Cromwell’s troops returned in 1646 when Colonel Sir Robert Pye Junior attacked his own ancestral home. This time the house fell and much of it burnt to the ground. One cannonball can still be seen in the local churchyard.
    5. Headless Hampden
      Things didn’t get much better for the Pye’s. Sir Robert Junior’s son Hampden fell out with his step-mother who in return had his head blown off at sea. His ghost is said to haunt All Saints churchyard.
    6. Four & Twenty
      Another notable family member was Henry Pye. Poet laureate from 1790 to 1813, he was considered to be ‘the worst Poet Laureate in English history’. His poems were so bad, he became the subject of other poets. “Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie” is actually a dig at one of Pye’s poems.
    7. Folly Hill
      The hill and indeed the name existed long before any folly appeared. The natural hill was first fortified by Alfred the Great. It’s where Robert Earl of Gloucester built a castle, it was also used as a lookout post in WWII.
    8. Lord Party
      Lord Berners built the existing folly in 1953. Eccentric Berners was renowned for holding extravagant parties at Faringdon House. Guests included Aldous Huxley, HG Wells, Salvador Dali, Nancy Mitford, Stravinsky and John Betjeman. He later said he built the 100ft tower “to tease the neighbours”.

    About

    Headless ghosts, appalling poets, Cromwell’s New Model Army, Salvador Dali, Alfred the Great… This sought-after location has a fascinating history.

    Today rather than headless lords, there are great independent shops, tasty cafes and a community feel. That isn’t to say the ghost isn’t still around…?!?
