  ## History
  
  Richer de Aquila (L'Aigle) granted Oxenford to Waverley Abbey before 1147. It was a Cistercian monastery farming community for Waverley Abbey until 1536 when Oxenford was granted to Sir William Fitz William during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, when it was valued at £4 13s. 4d.
  
  The buildings are in recent times within the nearby Peper Harow estate.
  
  ## Popular culture
  
  The buildings and their surrounding grounds, near small woods less than 100 metres away to the south and west, were used as a location for Robin Hood (2010 film).
