Chesterton is a small village and civil parish in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England. It sits in gently rolling agricultural countryside and benefits from being within easy commuting distance of Oxford and Bicester, so it combines a peaceful rural character with reasonably quick access to larger towns.
The village has historic roots stretching back to the medieval period and is notable for its characterful cottages, farmsteads and a traditional parish church, with several listed buildings around the core. Economically the area remains largely agricultural, though many residents now commute, and local social life tends to centre on village events, the church and the village hall rather than extensive services.
