Shenington is a small village and civil parish in the Cherwell district of Oxfordshire, England, sitting close to the county boundary with Warwickshire. It occupies a gently undulating, rural landscape of mixed farmland and hedgerows and is notable for a small general‑aviation airfield on the village fringe, which adds an unexpected splash of activity to an otherwise agricultural setting.
Historically a farming community centred on a medieval parish church and a handful of traditional cottages and farmsteads, Shenington today mixes long‑standing rural life with commuters travelling to the likes of Banbury and Oxford. The village retains a strong local identity through its pub, village hall and annual events, and its conservation of historic buildings gives it a distinctly old‑English village feel despite modern pressures.
