There was certainly a very small area of underground work for
'Stonesfield Slate' , a fissile limestone used for roofing, at Stonesfield
about 1 mile from Fawler. I believe 1 small working, in a farmyard is
still accessible.
The Grantham / Kettering ironstone orefield may have it's southern limit
not far away, but I can't remember where.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone help me with sources for ironstone (or other) mining in the area
around Fawler, near Charlbury, about 17.5 kms NW of Oxford?
Thanks in advance.
