A Bit About Marcham

History

Marcham’s history stretches as far back as the Roman and Saxon periods, highlighted by discoveries of early Saxon cemeteries and a significant Roman village. This area, referred to as the Roman town of Frilford, was a major tribal centre, likely home to several temples and possibly an amphitheatre, which indicates the area’s importance in religious and social activities during Roman Britain​​.

The village itself began as a Saxon settlement, initially part of the extensive lands granted to the Abbey of Abingdon by King Edgar in 965. Over the centuries, Marcham has seen significant historical developments, including its time as a strategic location during the Civil War and its ecclesiastical ties, with the Church of All Saints dating back to the 13th century​​​​.
