is a parish partly in this county but principally in Oxfordshire; particulars are given in Kelly's
Directory of the latter county.

C U M N O R is a large parish and village on the road
from Abingdon to Witney, bounded on the west by the
river Isis, which separates it from Oxfordshire,
miles
north from Abingdon and is 3^ west from Oxford, which
is the nearest railway station, in the Northern division
of the county, hundred of Hornier, petty sessional divi­
sion, union and county court district of Abingdon, and
in the rural deanery of Abingdon, archdeaconry of Berks
and diocese of Oxford. The church of St. Michael is an
edifice of stone, generally in the Transitional Norman
style, with insertions and additions of a century later,
and consists of chancel, nave, north aisle, a chapel at
the east end of the south aisle, which served as a
m ortuary chapel for the abbey of Abingdon, north porch
and a battlem ented western tower containing a clock and
6 bells ; the west doorway is Norman and the tower
arch a fine example of Transitional work : against the
north wall of the chancel is the rich canopied altartomb of Anthony Forster, c. 1572* and whose epitaph, of
32 verses, speaks highly of him as being amiable and
accom plished : the tomb has at the back brasses of
h 'm ;e lf in armour, and his wife Ann (W illiam s), with
several children and shields of arm s: there are other
brasses to Catherine (W illiam s), wife of Henry Staverton, gent. 1577 • anc^ to Deodatus Staverton. and his
wife Edith (W illiam s), c. 1580; there is also a memorial
to Benjam in Buckler D.D. sometime fellow of All Souls
College. Oxford, vicar here and rector of Frilsham, 175580 ; he was editor of the “ Stemmata Chicheleiana ”
and keeper of the un iversity archives at Oxford, and was
buried here 24th Dec. 1780 : in the church is preserved
a very fine example of a chained Bible, dated 1611, and
said to have been used by the Oxford University Press in
1832-3 for producing an exact reprint of the authorised

version: a list of vicars, in the church, commences in
I 3 I 4 » ai‘d has been continued to the present time : there
is also a full-length statue in Caen stone of Queen E liza­
beth, crowned, and bearing the orb and sceptre, said to
have been erected by the Earl of Leicester, in the gar­
dens of Old Cumnor Place : a handsome memorial has
been erected to the late Sir William Wilson Hunter
K .C .S .I., C .I.E . who died February 7th, 1900, aged 59:
the church affords 300 sittings. The registers all date
from 1559. The living is a vicarage, net yearly value
£ 25°, including 25 acres of glebe, with residence, in
the gift of the trustee of the Earl of Abingdon, and
held since 1903 by the Rev. A rthur Dudley Wilkinson
M.A. of Magdalene College, Cambridge. There is a Con­
gregational chapel, built in 1895, with 200 sittings. The
Rev. Dr. Buckler left .£100 (of which the present°interest
is ^ 7 17s. 4d.) to be expended in the purchase of Bibles
and Prayer Books for the poor; the R^v. John Slatter,
£ 1 10s. yearly for the poor; Mr. William Sellwood,
£4 u s . annually for the parishes of Besselsleigh and
Cumnor alternately, to be laid out in the purchase of
foul-weather jackets ; Mr. G . Noble left two £ 5 notes to
be lent to poor persons, one at a time, and to be repaid
at the rate of 10 groats per q u a rte r; Mr. Carey Godfrey,
the interest of ^100, to be laid out in rewards for the
Sunday school; Mr. H. Hall, the yearly interest of
£ io o . to be divided amongst four industrious persons
not receiving parish re lie f; Mrs. M. Peacock, the in­
terest of £500, £3 of which towards the school and £12

on the parish ; Mr. W. Slatter, the interest of ¿100, to
be divided between the school of this parish and the
Blue Coat School at Oxford. The poor’s land of 7
acres and three cottages produce £22 yearly.
