Its boundaries are the River Cherwell in the southeast, a tributary of the Cherwell called Highfurlong Brook in the west, and Oxfordshire's boundary with Northamptonshire in the northeast. HistoryPrescote's toponym probably means "priest's cottage", referring to a cottage either owned by a priest or more likely inhabited by one.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} Legend associates Prescote with Saint Fremund, a Mercian prince held to have been martyred in the 9th century AD.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} The Domesday Book of 1086 does not mention Prescote. The manor did exist by 1208-09, when the Bishop of Lincoln was the feudal overlord.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} Prescote comprised two manors that were held separately until 1417-1419, when John Danvers of Calthorpe acquired both of them.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} In 1796 Sir John Danvers, Baronet, died without a male heir and left Prescote to his son-in-law Augustus Richard Butler.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} In 1798 Butler sold the estate to the Pares family, who in 1867 sold it to Samuel Jones-Loyd, 1st Baron Overstone.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} In 1883 Baron Overstone died without a male heir and left his estates to his daughter, Harriet, Lady Wantage.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} On her death in 1920 Prescote was sold to A.P. McDougall,{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} whose Midland Marts company opened a cattle stockyard in 1921 beside {{rws|Banbury Merton Street}} railway station. By 1964 Prescote belonged to Anne Crossman, the wife of Richard Crossman M.P. Crossman was a descendant of the Danvers family.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} Prescote manor house has traces of a mediaeval moat, but a date-stone over the door of the present house indicates that it was built for Sir John Danvers in 1691.{{sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1974|p=560}} The house was extended early in the 19th century.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} The house at Prescote Manor Farm, about {{convert|0.5|mi|m}} northeast of the Manor House, is dated 1693.{{sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1974|p=560}} Prescote had a mill on the River Cherwell, called Boltysmylle in 1482 and Boltes Mill in 1613.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} By 1654 there was a "Prescote Mill", which may be the same as the earlier Boltes Mill.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} By 1703 the mill was in disrepair but its remains were still recorded as extant in 1797-98 and 1823.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} Today only its mill stream survives.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} The mill's decline may be linked with the manor's transition from arable to sheep farming. In 1547 a Danvers leased land at Prescote to a shepherd, and in 1797 it was reported that most of the {{convert|385|acre|ha}} of the farm attached to Prescote Manor was "old inclosed" pasture.{{sfn|Crossley|1972|pp=206–210}} References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/viewFullDataset.do?instanceSelection=03070&productId=779&$ph=60_61&datasetInstanceId=3070&startColumn=1&numberOfColumns=4&containerAreaId=790496 |title=Area selected: Cherwell (Non-Metropolitan District) |author= |work=Neighbourhood Statistics: Full Dataset View |publisher=Office for National Statistics |accessdate=30 March 2010}} Sources and further reading
