Ewelme Oxfordshire Map

About Ewelme

Ewelme, a village of quiet renown, lies in the South Oxfordshire district of Oxfordshire. It lies 4.2 km east-north-east of Wallingford (from Wallingford: bearing 62°T, OS grid SU 644 915), and is situated east of Benson village. The chalk streams that thread through the surrounding countryside give Ewelme a particular clarity of light, a luminescence that seems to soak into the ancient stones of its buildings. Here, St Mary's Church stands sentinel, its Perpendicular Gothic architecture a silent testament to centuries of devotion, and within its walls rests the tomb of Alice Chaucer, daughter of the great poet, a reminder of Ewelme's connection to England's literary heritage. The village green, a patch of well-trodden earth, still feels the echo of market days long past, a subtle hum beneath the present, peaceful quiet. The air, often carrying the scent of damp earth and distant hedgerows, speaks of a landscape that has been shaped by agriculture and the slow, steady passage of time, a place where nature and human endeavour have found a gentle, enduring harmony.
