Full Description
{1} Prior to Turnpiking when a completely new road was laid out from the south west corner of the market place, the Banbury road appears from Eayre's map to have run out of the Hinton Road, which left the town by the castle. However although in existence by 1516 this road leading out of Whitchandys Grene, was then called Hinton Lane. There is reference in 1260 to the King's highway to Banbury running through Brackley fields.
It is possible that the medieval road followed a different course than the post medieval. The most likely route would be running west north west from the Halse road immediately west of the town where a road, known in the 19th century as Steane Way, cuts straight across the township respected by the furlong pattern.
