Kencot is a tiny village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set in gentle agricultural countryside. The settlement is composed of a handful of stone cottages, farm buildings and narrow lanes, giving it a quiet, quintessentially rural character close to larger market towns for services.
Its history is visible in a small medieval parish church and several listed houses, and the local economy remains largely agricultural though many residents now commute further afield; community life tends to be close‑knit, with an emphasis on conserving the landscape and historic fabric of the village.
