Newton Purcell with Shelswell is a small, quietly rural parish in the district of Cherwell, in north Oxfordshire, England, lying close to the Buckinghamshire boundary and within reasonable commuting distance of Bicester and Banbury. The landscape is typical rolling farmland and parkland, with quiet lanes and footpaths that make it popular for walking and cycling rather than for tourism, and the economy remains largely agricultural with some residents commuting to nearby towns.
Its interest is largely historical and landscape-based: the area includes the old settlement of Shelswell, where earthworks and estate parkland hint at medieval and later manor landscapes, and the couple of small villages retain a close-knit, village-community feel rather than many amenities, so local life revolves around farms, the countryside and nearby market towns.
