Wormleighton Manor Gatehouse; stone carving The gatehouse was added to the manor house in 1613 and this armorial tablet of the royal Stuart (after 1603 in England) is above the south face of the archway.  Notice the Red Admiral butterfly sunning itself.  The Tudor manor house was built for John Spencer of Althorp during the reign of Henry the Eighth and Prince Rupert rested here with his Royalist troops on the eve of the Battle of Edgehill.

One Hundred and Eighty At this point, the Oxford Canal can be seen in the distance making a 180 degree turn as it skirts the bottom of the hill north of Wormleighton.  The canal in this area makes a curious and very convoluted route (including another '180') as it skirts the hill above it; a true 'contour hugging' canal!
