I have not read either Witching Hill nor The Owl Service recently enough to offer any sort of intelligent comment, but I very much enjoyed reading your thoughts.
What strikes me about both books is how strong an impression the atmosphere (the vibe, I guess, for want of a better word) of each book left on my mind, even as details of plot and characters have faded. I should read them both again. (The Owl Service was 25 years ago!)
Also, your comment on Fathers of Men makes me want to read it. I had never heard of it before, but looked it up and it sounds excellent. Just found it on Gutenberg!
