Hornton is a small village in the district of Cherwell in Oxfordshire, England, set on the ironstone slopes of the Edge Hill escarpment a short distance from Banbury. The village is notable for its warm-hued ironstone cottages and farmhouses, reflecting local geology and a past of small-scale ironstone quarrying, and it retains a medieval parish church and other historic buildings.
Historically agricultural and touched by the turbulence around the 1642 Battle of Edge Hill, Hornton today is a quiet conservation village with a small, active community, a village hall and a pub, and many residents commuting to Banbury or Oxford. It’s valued for its attractive stone architecture, open views over the Cherwell countryside and a strong village identity.
