Great Milton is a village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, lying a few miles to the south‑east of Oxford. Set amid gently rolling farmland and hedged lanes, the settlement has medieval origins and a compact core of stone and brick cottages, a historic parish church and a mix of 18th- and 19th-century houses that give a strong sense of continuity with the rural past.
The parish today combines farming and small local businesses with a largely residential population, many of whom commute to nearby centres for work. Community life is centred on village institutions such as the school, village hall and local clubs, and there is an active conservation interest in preserving historic buildings and the surrounding countryside while accommodating modest modern development. It’s the kind of village where annual events and neighbourly networks remain important to daily life.
