Fringford is a small village and civil parish in the district of Cherwell, Oxfordshire, England, set in gently rolling agricultural countryside to the north‑east of Oxford and within easy reach of Bicester. The settlement retains a compact, rural character with a medieval parish church and a number of older cottages and farm buildings that reflect its long agricultural past.
Historically a farming community, Fringford today combines village life with commuting to nearby towns; community activity tends to centre on the church and village hall and occasional local events. Its quiet lanes and hedgerow landscapes make it popular with walkers and people seeking a relatively unchanged slice of the Oxfordshire countryside, and several historic buildings are locally listed or lie within conservation areas to protect that character.
