Default Where is Burchester (Oxfordshire?)

I have found a marriage bond:

http://www.whipple.org/oxford/4_alph...ides_names.pdf


Year 1711
Groom Parrott, Wm
Parish Burcester
Bride Eggleton, Sarah
Parish Wotten Underwood, Bucks

I've looked on GENUKI but it's no help.

Is it a variant of Bicester, maybe?

Can't be a pronunciation thing. Burchester doesn't sound anything like Bister.

It says Burcester (no h) in the bit that's copied and pasted, UJ.

Bicester House (known as Burcester Hall in the17th century)

From: 'The market town of Bicester', A History of the County of Oxford: Volume 6 (1959), pp. 14-56. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/rep...x?compid=63724 Date accessed: 02 March 2013.

Maybe someone woked at the hall?
