Overview

History & significance

Otley Grange is a medieval agricultural complex located in Oxfordshire that reflects the manorial economy of the Middle Ages. The site comprises the remains of a grange, a substantial farm belonging to a religious house, which would have served to manage demesne lands and produce surplus for the monastery or convent. The physical layout and surviving structures demonstrate the organised nature of medieval estate management, with evidence of domestic and functional buildings arranged to facilitate agricultural work. Dating evidence places the site within the medieval period, contributing to our understanding of the monastic economy and rural settlement patterns in Oxfordshire.
