Barney, You'll find a couple of references on Google such as http://www.deddington.org.uk/history/articles/ironstone and http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=63798. The first of these contains references to geological memoirs which add further detail and which you should be able to obtain via a library. I don't know anything else about the area but I have copied this e-mail to the mining history discussion group in the hope that someone else might be able to contact you direct about the mines. Good luck.

Do you know where I would be able to find any information on the Fawler ironstone mines in Oxfordshire? I'm a local resident with an interest in its history - I have found little information on the internet and was hoping you could help. Any advice would be warmly welcomed. Thanks, Barney ----------------------------- 2009-10-06
