Towns & Villages
Oxfordshire
OX18 4JT
A small, quiet village 2 miles south west of Burford, close to the county border with Gloucestershire, Westwell supposedly takes its name from the fact that it is the most westerly well in Oxfordshire.
In the centre of the village there is a small pond with an unusual war mermorial and a path leading up to the parish church, which is well worth a visit.
The war memorial, erected after the First World War, is made of roughly squared stone blocks with a brass inset on one side - this comes from the clock on the Cloth Hall in Ypres, where the local regiment (The Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry) had fought at both the First Battle of Ypres in 1914 and at nearby Passchendaele in 1917.
