The parish of Waterperry with Thomley sits in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England and is best known for the celebrated Waterperry Gardens, which surround an elegant manor house with historic origins. The gardens were home in the 20th century to a well‑regarded horticultural school for women under Beatrix Havergal and today remain a popular draw for plant lovers, seasonal events and small classical concerts.
Beyond the gardens the parish is quietly rural, a patchwork of arable fields, orchards and scattered farmsteads; tourism from the gardens and a few local craft and hospitality enterprises helps the local economy. The neighbouring Thomley retains traces of a much older settlement, giving the area a touch of medieval interest, while community life is small‑scale and very much rooted in traditional Oxfordshire village rhythms.
