Hornton is a small rural village and civil parish in Cherwell, Oxfordshire, England, lying a few miles south of Banbury near the rising ground of Edge Hill. The settlement is notable for its warm ironstone buildings - the local stone gives cottages and the church a honeyed, honey-coloured look - and for its proximity to the site associated with the first pitched battle of the English Civil War.
Local life remains village-centred, with a church, village hall and pub supporting regular community events; agriculture still shapes the surrounding landscape while some residents commute to Banbury or Oxford. The rolling countryside offers pleasant walks and the well-preserved stone architecture gives Hornton a distinctive historic charm.
