Lew

Lew is a small, largely rural civil parish in West Oxfordshire, in the rolling countryside of Oxfordshire, England. Set within the characteristic limestone landscape of the Cotswolds fringe, it comprises a handful of hamlets and farmsteads rather than a single large settlement, and is typically approached via narrow lanes that link it to nearby market towns such as Burford and Witney.

Historically the parish has farming roots and retains several traditional stone houses and a parish church of medieval origin, giving it a quietly historic feel; many properties are listed and the area attracts walkers and visitors seeking a rural taste of the Cotswolds. Today the local economy remains a mix of agriculture, small-scale rural businesses and residents who commute to larger centres including Oxford, while community life revolves around parish meetings, occasional village events and conservation of the local landscape and heritage.
