Bladon is a small village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, lying just north of Woodstock and within easy reach of Blenheim Palace and Oxford. It has a compact centre of stone cottages, a village green, local amenities including a primary school, and feels like a quintessential Cotswold-adjacent community set against parkland and farmland.
The parish is best known for St Martin's Church, whose churchyard is the final resting place of Winston Churchill, which draws visitors while the village itself remains largely residential and community-focused; many residents commute to nearby towns and the city of Oxford, but local clubs, events and a strong village identity keep Bladon socially active.
