Nuneham Courtenay is one of the best known and most important "planned" estate villages in the country. It's creation in 1760 was as a direct result of development in the history of Nuneham House and it's surrounding landscaped park...
It was during the construction of the house that it became increasingly clear that the perfect riverside setting of the new house was marred by the presence of the medieval village close to the entrance. Consequently, it was necessary to remove completely the village from the site of the house.
Lord Harcourt took the opportunity to provide a completely new village with modern amenities which he placed either side of the Oxford to Henley road. The removal of the village commenced in 1760 and was largely completed by the Autumn of 1761. The houses and cottages were all carefully painted in similar colours to emphasise the overall unity of the village and its single ownership.
