Shelswell
Shelswell is a hamlet in Oxfordshire about south of Brackley in neighbouring Northamptonshire.
==Manor==
Shelswell's toponym comes from Old English and suggest's that the settlement may originally have been the well belonging to ''Scield'', a Saxon settler.〔Lobel, 1959, pages 285-289〕 The spring that gave rise to this well is no longer traceable. The toponym was ''"Scaldeswelle"'' in 1180〔 and ''"Saldeywell"'' in 1219〔 before evolving into the present form.
Before the Norman Conquest of England the manor of Shelswell belonged to a Saxon called Edwin, but the Domesday Book records that by 1086 Shelswell had been granted to Geoffrey de Montbray, Bishop of Coutances.〔 In 1093 the Bishop left Shelswell to his nephew Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumbria, but in 1095 the Earl was imprisoned and forfeited his estates for rebelling against William Rufus.〔 By the 12th century Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester, an illegitimate son of Henry I, was Shelswell's feudal overlord.〔 Shelswell remained part of the honour of Gloucester during the 13th century and apparently as late as 1560.〔 Sir Anthony Cope, 1st Baronet of Hanwell, Oxfordshire bought Shelswell in 1595 and it remained with the family of the Cope baronets until after 1675.〔
Shelswell had a mediaeval manor house that still stood in 1530. Moats near Home Farm (OS grid reference SP611308) may mark its site.〔 A new manor house (OS grid ref. SP603306) southwest of the former village was built either early in the 18th century according to record or in 1699 according to a date-stone found in 1875.〔 In the 18th century that house was enlarged and plantations made to improve its parkland.〔 In 1875 the house was almost completely demolished and replaced with Shelswell Park's present Italianate country house designed by the architect William Wilkinson.〔Sherwood & Pevsner, 1974, page 753〕 The house has a Tuscan porte-cochère and retains some rooms of the 18th-century house.〔 In 1956 the 1875 house was unoccupied and falling into disrepair.〔
