Steeple Aston sits in the district of Cherwell in rural Oxfordshire, England, tucked into rolling countryside on the edge of the Cotswolds and within easy driving distance of Oxford, Bicester and Banbury. The village takes its name from the prominent church spire and the Old English "Aston" (east farm); a compact historic centre of stone and thatch cottages and a medieval parish church lies within a conservation area, reflecting its long agricultural past.
Today Steeple Aston combines farming with a mix of commuters and small local businesses, and supports a lively community life with a primary school, pubs, clubs and annual fêtes. Its attractive architecture, network of country walks and active village groups make it popular with families and retirees who value rural Oxfordshire living while retaining reasonable links to nearby towns.
