"James Haughton Langston (25 May 1796 – 19 October 1863) was a landowner and Member of Parliament.He was the son of John Langston of Sarsden House, Oxfordshire, and his wife, Sarah. He was educated at Eton College (1811) and graduated from Oxford in 1819. In 1812 Langston succeeded his father, inheriting the Sarsden estate. He was appointed High Sheriff of Oxfordshire for 1819–20 and verderer of Wychwood Forest. Langston served as MP. He had married the Hon. Julia Moreton, the daughter of Thomas Reynolds Moreton, 4th Baron Ducie. They had one daughter who survived into adulthood, Julia, to whom he bequeathed his Oxfordshire estate. In 1849 she married her cousin Lord Moreton, later 3rd Earl of Ducie. The fountain is a Grade II Listed monument.  The inscription reads "1870 for Julia, Countess of Ducie, in memory of her father, James Haughton Langston."

"William 'Strata' Smith was born in Churchill, Oxfordshire on 23 March 1769. He died in Northamptonshire on 28 August 1839.  Smith was an English geologist, credited with creating the first detailed, nationwide geological map of any country. At the time his map was first published he was overlooked by the scientific community; his relatively humble education and family connections prevented him from mixing easily in learned society. Financially ruined, Smith spent time in debtors' prison. It was only late in his life that Smith received recognition for his accomplishments, and became known as the "Father of English Geology" Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Smith_(geologist) Further info can be found here; https://www.churchillheritage.org.uk/famous-sons/william-smith

Didn't stop at the cafe, but the town and church are definitely worth a visit.

The Charlbury Deli is the best place to stock up on snacks or grab a coffee before your run. They also serve great breakfasts from 8:30 to 2:30.
