About Us

Duck Cottage stands in a remote corner of Wiltshire, 11 miles south-east of Marlborough. Oxenwood itself was largely rebuilt between 1862-65, the size of the construction of the village prior to that period is not known but six roads meet at the present village green. There is a well near the centre of the village that is about 85 metres deep and was last used in the 1930’s. Oxenwood village was part of the Fosbury Estate. Estate workers originally occupied many of the houses, but most are now privately owned.
