The history of Banbury : including copious historical and antiquarian notices of the neighbourhood
Alfred Beesley, 1841
While I was doing some research into the whereabouts of Castle Gardens in Banbury where my GG Grandfather, William French, born 1802, used to live, I stumbled upon a really interesting book called "The History of Banbury" by Alfred Beesley (1841). In it I came across the only article I have ever seen (page 431) which mentions where Castle Gardens was. I was really pleased I had found it.
So if anyone would like to read the book the following link will get you there:
