In the valley on the western outskirts of Chipping Norton, is the imposing Bliss Tweed Mill, built of Cotswold stone in 1872 after the earlier building had been destroyed by fire (caused by an exploding boiler). Despite having a prominent central chimney, the mill-owner, William Bliss, wanted the building to resemble a country mansion set in a park. The architect employed to undertake the work was George Woodhouse from Lancashire, who specialized in designing mills and factories. The building, once linked by rail to the main line owned by the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway Company
