The register of the Bicester Poor Law and Union shows a very sad case whereby Ann Edwards, a single woman from Oddington, then in the Workhouse, on 19 January 1844 was granted the sum of 4 shillings for two coffins for her children who died in the Workhouse.
Ann was baptised at Oddington on 10 July 1796, the daughter of Thomas and Mary Edwards. She was buried at Oddington on 30 November 1852, having died in the Workhouse from epilepsy.

Otmoor is one of our country’s great treasures. A unique habitat of rare wetland and grazing floodplain in landlocked Oxfordshire, home to 1,000 acres of nature reserves and Sites of Special Scientific Interest, uncrossed by any road since Roman times. Thousands of visitors enjoy its special feeling of remoteness, sharing this ancient fen with over sixty rare and protected species.
Now our government is planning a major new road that could threaten this unique environment.
