Bloxham is a sizeable historic village in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England, set on the edge of rolling agricultural countryside a short distance from Banbury. It keeps a strong sense of place with a traditional high street, timber‑framed houses and a conservation heart, with public footpaths and green spaces linking it to the surrounding farmland.
The village’s history is visible in its medieval parish church, All Saints Church, and in the pattern of streets and old buildings. Today the local economy is a mix of village shops, pubs and services, plus commuters to nearby towns, while the independent Bloxham School gives the community a distinctive cultural and employment presence; there are also active clubs and annual events that sustain a lively social life.
