Finmere in Cherwell, Oxfordshire, England is a small, predominantly rural village set among arable fields close to the county boundary with Buckinghamshire. It retains a quiet, village character while being within easy reach of the market towns of Bicester and Brackley, so it feels connected without losing its countryside setting.
The locality bears visible traces of 20th‑century transport and military history: the remains of the Second World War airfield at RAF Finmere sit nearby and the former alignment of the Great Central Main Line runs close to the village. Today it combines traditional agricultural activity and a close‑knit parish community with some commuters and small local enterprises making use of its convenient rural position.
