Description
This is a police station and associated police house, built in 1854. A datestone on the porch to the right confirms the date, and the building has undergone alterations and additions in the 20th century. Constructed of brown brick with slate roofs, it features brick stacks – one to the right of centre with diagonally-set flues, and another to the rear right, truncated and diagonally-set. The station block is two storeys high with two windows, and has a gabled porch to the left with a stone-parapetted gable and a plank door to the side. A gabled porch with a stone-parapetted gable and a plank door with a segmental stone head is located centrally. The station windows are irregular sashes, while the former police house, now part of the station, has irregular wood casements. The roofs are gabled. The ground floor of the station block originally contained prison cells with doors. The station was built by local builder Giles Holland at a cost of £654, paid for jointly by Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It is reputedly the earliest surviving police station in the county.
