History of Banbury

Although an excavation in 2002 uncovered remains of a settlement dating back to the Iron Age, it wasn’t until the 14th century that Banbury gained prominence as a trading hub. During this time, weekly markets attracted visitors from surrounding Oxfordshire and a wool industry flourished.

Despite the damage suffered during the Civil War and the devastating fire of 1628, the town proved resilient, with ongoing improvements to infrastructure. During the Victorian period, gas-powered lighting was installed and both the Horton Infirmary and railway station were opened.

Today Banbury is best-known for its namesake cake and the nursery rhyme “Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross”. The latter is commemorated in the town with a statue depicting a “Fyne lade upon a White Horse”, while the fruity Banbury cake is still served at the many cafes.

 

It may have developed into a modern town with 21st century luxuries, but Banbury still retains the old-world charm of its market town past.

Major Industries and Businesses in Banbury

Traditionally, Banbury’s economy revolved around its cattle market, which closed in 1998. A key facet of Victorian life in the town, it was once the largest cattle market in Western Europe, with cattle driven to the town on the hoof from as far away as Scotland to feed the growing population of London and other towns.

Banbury is home to a host of big employers, which helps to give the town one of the lowest rates of unemployment in the UK. Major employers include Jacobs Douwe Egberts, the multinational owner of beverage brands such as Jacobs, Kenco and Tassimo.

The town also has a proud engineering heritage, with several well-known motorsports operations having been based in the area. Arden Motorsport – owned by Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner – is still located on the Thorpe Way Industrial Estate, while the likes of Manor Racing and Simtek have also been situated in the town.
