Croughton is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, sitting in rolling countryside close to the Oxfordshire border and just a few miles north of Brackley. Its position gives easy access to regional centres such as Banbury and the M40, so the area combines traditional agricultural surroundings with a number of residents who commute to nearby towns.
The village is notable for the nearby communications station at RAF Croughton, which brings an unusual international dimension to an otherwise typically rural community. Locally there is a strong community feel centred on the village hall, church and pub, with a mix of historic cottages and later housing reflecting Croughton’s long history and continuing role as a living, evolving village.
