In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bagley Wood like this:
BAGLEY-WOOD, an extra-parochial tract in Abing don district, Berks; 3 miles S of Oxford. Acres, 390. Pop., 8. Houses, 3. A spot here, on Chilswell farm, was the site of the original Abingdon abbey; and an other spot, on the top of a hill, commands a splendid view of Oxford.
Bagley Wood is now part of VALE OF WHITE HORSE District. Click here for graphs and data of how VALE OF WHITE HORSE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Bagley Wood itself, go to Statistics.
