    Kidlington – 5 Quirky Facts

    1. Just Say No
      So far despite an increase in population and the fact that the numbers are well above those of many small towns, Kidlington fiercely defends its designation as a ‘village’. It’s easy to see why, with a number of small winding roads, listed buildings, charming houses and sleepy (in the best, quintessentially English way) village feel.
    2. Beechams Powders
      The famous remedy was invented in Kidlington. Thomas Beecham actually worked as a gardener at Hampden Manor while living in a cottage nearby and spending his non-green fingered time working on his powders. Beecham learnt about herbal remedies while a shepherd boy. He moved to Wigan where he started selling Beecham’s Pills which were a laxative. He gradually grew a large business in the North West before building his own factory and selling nationally. His eldest son became Sir Joseph Beecham and took the company to new heights and his grandson became an internally renowned conductor.
    3. Early Days
      The village sits on a Roman road (the original route through the village is no longer used) and ‘Chedelintone’ as it was then appeared in the Domesday book as having 32 villagers, 8 smallholders, 2 slaves, 3 meadows, a mill and was worth the princely annual sum of 14 pounds.
    4. Isambard Kidlington Brunel
      Kidlington’s former railway station was designed by the great Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Sadly, trains no longer stop in the village but the building itself still stands. There certainly aren’t many villages that can claim to be home to one of Brunel’s designs.
    5. Sir William Morton
      One of Kidlington’s most famous sons, Sir William Morton actually married into the area, his wife Anne Smyth was the daughter of local man John Smyth. Sir William had been born into wealth and became a judge and member of parliament. At the outbreak of the Civil War he sided with the royalists and became commander of Sudeley Castle. The castle fell after one of his officers betrayed him and Morton along with 300 of his men were sent to the Tower of London. He was eventually released and spent the later part of his life back in Kidlington.
