Milton under Wychwood has some charming and unusual features—small sculptural carvings scattered across various properties throughout the village.
While not aiming to rival Florence’s grandeur, these modest pieces offer a glimpse into some lesser-known chapters of Milton’s history. The research in this article serves two main purposes:
• To document these carvings as fascinating artefacts that enrich the village’s character.
• To explore their historical context and suggest possible origins, especially since most have been relocated from now lost original settings.

If you have any insights or stories about the origins or past locations of these sculptures, the Wychwoods Local History Society would love to hear from you. Meantime, we are grateful to the owners of buildings who have provided information about their sculptures and allowed access to their properties to take photographs.
