Horton-cum-Studley

Horton-cum-Studley is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Cherwell in Oxfordshire, England. Set in rolling countryside a short drive from the city of Oxford, it comprises a compact cluster of stone and brick cottages, farms and a few larger houses; the double name hints at its agricultural origins, with "Horton" (a muddy farmstead) and "Studley" (a meadow associated with a stud) reflecting historic land use.

Historically focused on farming, the parish still retains a largely rural character with several older, often listed buildings and conservation interest, while economically many residents now commute to nearby towns and Oxford. Socially there is a close-knit village community with local events and parish activities typical of small Oxfordshire settlements.
