History

Beedon is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a property of Abingdon Abbey, with Walter de Rivers as the tenant. It passed by inheritance to the de Lisle and later the Roos family.

The manor was then inherited by Overstone's daughter, Harriet Loyd-Lindsay, Baroness Wantage.[3]

There was a RAF decoy airfield opened to the west of the town during World War II and its role was to deflect the bombing of real airfields. It was parented by nearby RAF Harwell, in Oxfordshire.Шаблон:Citation needed
