Stonesfield is a small village in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, set on limestone countryside a short drive north‑west of Oxford. It feels distinctly rural with rolling fields, hedgerows and easy access to the nearby historic parks around Blenheim Palace and the old Wychwood area, making it popular with walkers and people who commute into the city.
The village is best known for its historic quarries and the locally quarried "Stonesfield slate", a roofing stone that proved rich in fossils and attracted nineteenth‑century collectors; that heritage still colours local identity. Today Stonesfield combines that long history with a lively community life - a village hall, school and local events - and a mix of traditional stone buildings and more modern housing.
