Upper Heyford is a small, rural parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside. The settlement has a compact village core of old stone and brick cottages and a parish church whose medieval origins are still apparent; historic features such as ridge-and-furrow earthworks and several listed buildings hint at a long farming past.
Today the community remains largely agricultural but with a mix of commuters and local trades, and village life is quietly focused around a village hall, local events and the network of lanes and footpaths that attract walkers and wildlife watchers. Its proximity to larger centres such as Daventry, Banbury and Northampton means services and employment are close at hand while the parish retains a distinctly rural character.
