Elkington is a small, rural civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set amid rolling farmland and hedgerows. Its landscape and a handful of historic buildings and earthworks point to medieval roots and long agricultural use; economically the area remains largely agricultural, with many residents travelling to nearby market towns such as Brackley and Banbury for shops and employment.
Community life is quiet and village-focused, often centred on a church or village hall and occasional local events, with an interest in conserving the character of the countryside. Administratively the parish falls under the unitary authority of West Northamptonshire, a change that has shaped local planning and service delivery in recent years.
