Great Coxwell is a small, largely rural village in the Vale of White Horse district of Oxfordshire, England, set among the rolling chalk downland that leads into the North Wessex Downs. The parish sits within easy reach of the market town of Faringdon and larger centres such as Swindon and Oxford, making it a pleasant mix of working farmland, cottages and commuter households, with good walking and cycling country close by.
The village is best known for its striking 13th‑century tithe barn at Great Coxwell Barn, built for a monastic house and now looked after by the National Trust, and for the medieval parish church of St Giles', which preserves Norman and later features. Those historic buildings give the place a strong sense of continuity: agriculture has long underpinned the local economy, while a small, engaged community sustains village events and preserves the distinctive rural character.
