More about this scene
One of the highest towns in Oxfordshire, Chipping Norton gets the 'Chipping' in its name from the Saxon word for market. Its prosperity dates back to at least the 13th century, though a village stood on this site long before that. Locals rarely call the place anything but 'Chippy'. The Market Square is dominated by this dramatic 19th century Town Hall. Locals and visitors come from far and wide to sample the delights of Chippy's Wednesday market which is held here—much as people have done for centuries.
