Ewelme is a small village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set in a shallow valley and surrounded by farmland and beech-clad slopes near the Chilterns. A stream called Ewelme Brook runs through the village, giving it a compact, rural character while keeping market towns such as Wallingford within easy reach.
Despite its size, Ewelme is notable for its well preserved medieval ensemble - the All Saints Church and the 15th-century Ewelme Almshouses and school established by the de la Pole family - which attract history enthusiasts. Today the community mixes agriculture with a commuter population and active local groups, so the village retains a strong social identity and regular visitors interested in rural and historic Oxfordshire.
