Prescote is a tiny, largely agricultural civil parish in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England, sitting in gently rolling countryside north of Banbury and close to the village of Cropredy. The area is typical of north Oxfordshire: hedged arable fields, small copses and country lanes, with river valleys and footpaths that attract walkers and birdwatchers.
Historically it developed around a small manor and retains a handful of farmhouses and listed buildings that speak to its medieval and post‑medieval past, but the population is very small and community life is usually linked to neighbouring villages. Farming remains the dominant economic activity, with some residents commuting to Banbury or Oxford; overall it is valued for its quiet, rural character rather than any urban amenities.
