Stonesfield is a compact village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, a few miles to the north‑west of Oxford and not far from Blenheim Palace. It sits on a distinctive limestone outcrop and is historically famous for its "Stonesfield slate" quarries, which yielded roofing stone and an array of Jurassic fossil finds that have interested geologists and collectors for centuries.
Today the village retains a rural character with a lively community feel: a primary school, a village pub and various local clubs and events, while its attractive lanes and countryside make it popular with walkers and commuters who work in nearby towns. The mix of geological heritage, local traditions and proximity to larger centres gives Stonesfield a quietly interesting blend of past and present.
