History
In 1542 the Crown granted almost all of the land at Murcott to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey.[1] They retained it until the end of the 19th century, when it passed to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners.[1]
Murcott Mission Room was built in 1895 to a plain Early English design by local Gothic Revival architect A. Mardon Mowbray.[2] The Mission Room is a Church of England chapel, part of the Benefice of the Ray Valley.[3]
The Nut Tree Inn public house is a mid-18th century thatched building.[1] It is a gastropub and in 2009 was awarded a Michelin Star.[4] Murcott used to have a second pub, the Marlake House, but this had closed by 1939.[1]
