Welcome to Great Rollright

Great Rollright is a small village located in the county of Oxfordshire, England. The village is known for its ancient stone circle, the Rollright Stones, which is believed to be over 4,500 years old. The stones are made up of three separate circles, the King's Men, the King Stone, and the Whispering Knights. The Rollright Stones are a popular tourist attraction and are considered to be one of the most important prehistoric sites in the country.

Apart from the Rollright Stones, Great Rollright is also home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks. The village church, St. Andrew's, dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II listed building. The church features a Norman doorway, a 14th-century font, and a 15th-century pulpit. Another notable landmark in the village is the Rollright Trust, a charity that manages the Rollright Stones and works to preserve the site for future generations.

Great Rollright is a picturesque village with a strong sense of community. The village has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub, The Red Lion, which dates back to the 17th century. The pub is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike and serves traditional pub food and ales. The village also hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a summer fete and a Christmas market, which bring the community together and attract visitors from far and wide.
