Broughton is a small, predominantly rural parish in the district of Cherwell, Oxfordshire, England, lying close to Banbury. The settlement is notable for the moated and largely medieval Broughton Castle, a privately owned historic house with public garden days and occasional filming and cultural events, while the village itself features traditional stone cottages and a parish church that reflect its long agricultural past.
The local economy remains rooted in farming and estate land, though many residents commute to nearby towns for work, giving the place a quiet, residential feel with a strong community identity; limited local services mean life here is shaped by the castle, village social life and proximity to larger centres rather than high streets or industrial activity.
