Greatworth is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set in the rolling arable and pasture countryside typical of Northamptonshire. It lies near the Oxfordshire border and is within easy driving distance of larger towns such as Banbury and Brackley, making it a quiet rural community popular with commuters as well as local farmers.
The village retains a compact historic core of traditional stone and brick cottages, centred around a parish church and village hall that sustain a lively local life of fêtes, clubs and community events. Agriculture still shapes the local economy, but many residents work further afield; the area is also valued for its network of footpaths and quiet lanes that showcase the region’s layered, often medieval, character.
