In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Danes Moor like this:
DANES-MOOR, or Dunsmoor, a place on the mutual border of Northampton and Oxford; 5¼ miles NE by N of Banbury. The Yorkists sustained a defeat here in 1469; and Charles I. encamped here before the battle of Edgehill.
Danes Moor is now part of WEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how WEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Danes Moor itself, go to Statistics.
