About Stonesfield

Stonesfield, a village in West Oxfordshire, breathes the quiet assurance of its ancient roots. It lies 4.1 km south-east of Charlbury (from Charlbury: bearing 124°T, OS grid SP 391 171), and is situated west-north-west of Combe village. The gentle roll of the Cotswold escarpment forms a soft backdrop to Stonesfield's weathered stone cottages, their roofs catching the low afternoon sun with a warmth that speaks of centuries of habitation. A particular beauty here is the way the light, when it breaks through the often-grey skies, seems to linger a moment longer on the honey-coloured stone, giving the village a brief, golden glow. Historically, Stonesfield was known for its slate quarries, the scars of which are now softened by time and vegetation, a testament to the industry that once shaped its fortunes. The village green, though not grand, offers a pleasant space for local gatherings, the faint scent of mown grass mingling with the earthy aroma of the surrounding fields.
