An attractive
thatched cottage, stone-built with red-brick detailing. Wendlebury
lies on the old Oxford to Bicester road, which was made a turnpike
road in 1793 (in the 13th century the road south from Alchester was
known as Buggestreet). The village was bypassed in 1949 by the A421
trunk road. And since the construction of the M40 in the early 1990s,
Wendlebury lies in a corner between Junction 9 and the A421. Nonetheless,
the village still has a very rural aspect.
