Chapels
A dependent chapel of Deddington parish church still existed in Clifton in 1523 but seems to have disappeared by the 17th century.[1] A Methodist chapel was built in Clifton in about 1815.[1] It was a small brick building and has since been demolished.[1] The Methodists replaced it in 1869 with a new brick and stucco chapel[1] with plain lancet windows. It was still in use for worship in the 1950s but was disused by 1983[1] and is now a private house. A new Church of England chapel of St James the Great was completed in 1853:[1] the Diocese of Oxford declared the chapel redundant in and sold it for secular commercial use in 1974.[2]
Community
Clifton has a public house, the Duke of Cumberland's Head, which has recently re-opened with a new campsite and travelling caravan park.
