Witney, Market town in West Oxfordshire, England
Witney sits on the River Windrush, spreading across green landscapes with its stone buildings and wide streets forming a traditional English town center.
The town's name first appeared in a Saxon charter of 969 as Wyttannige, while the Domesday Book of 1086 recorded it as Witenie.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin exhibits Norman architecture with a 156-foot spire, representing the wealth generated from medieval wool trading.
The Market Square hosts markets on Thursdays and Saturdays, surrounded by shops, while Marriotts Walk Shopping Centre provides free parking facilities.
The River Windrush water contained specific minerals that contributed to the superior quality of Witney blankets, making them world-renowned products.
