What is recorded here
Glympton Park still stands as a castle in West Oxfordshire, though no surviving chamber or garden edge is certain enough to judge. The name itself sounds like a tongue-trip, as if the land wanted to be remembered but refused to be precise. Perhaps people walked past it for centuries, certain they knew the way and certain the place would not argue back.
Glympton Park is shown as a castle on the public map of West Oxfordshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Glympton Park was a medieval moated manor house, likely built in the 14th century, and held by the Patten family in the 16th century. It is remembered for its historical association with the Patten family and its role in the local landscape of West Oxfordshire.
