1814 (approx) An early OS survey
1875 (approx) Imaginary bird's eye views of the village were drawn by Joseph Wilkins, a Deddington resident and cartographer who lived in Gilkes Style at the south end of New Street - now known as The Stile. A History of Deddington, Oxfordshire by H.M.Colvin, 1963 contains a black and white copy of his view from the south. Colvin dates the drawing at 1875 but close observation shows that the church still has the Georgian porch, which was demolished in 1863. The original colour image of the view from the south - from which Colvin presumably took his copy - is in the archives of the Banbury Museum (accession number OXCMS : ti1446) and is reproduced by courtesy of Oxfordshire County Council Museum Service. A black and white copy of Wilkin's view from the east can be found in Mary Vane Turner's The Story of Deddington.

1910 survey for rating valuation purposes consists of 6 full colour maps based on the OS covering the whole of the parish. They are archived in the Oxford Records Office at St Lukes under the references below. It remains a project to obtain images of all 6 maps and also the associated ledgers, alphabetically keyed to the maps, which contain details of each property. Meanwhile the following ORO references will help anyone wishing to research them.
