Right in the heart of England and on the edge of the Cotswolds you'll find Deddington, Clifton and Hempton. The parish lies south of Banbury, close to the M40. It's an ideal launching pad for some of England's loveliest countryside, prettiest villages, grandest country homes and greatest seats of learning. Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Blenheim and Silverstone are within easy reach, and that's just for starters!
With its picturesque houses of honey coloured ironstone, a history going back to Norman and even Saxon times, loads of social activity and a thriving business community, the Parish is a great place to live, work, stay over or just visit.

Deddington OnLine is changing. Thanks to all the generous donations received, a major rework of our parish web pages is being engineered. You are looking at the first visible part of that work - our new website.
Over the years DOL has grown into a large and complex site. The revisions are designed to make it easier to implement changes and add new information. This means that it will be possible for owners of parts of DOL to update their own entries. So clubs and societies will be able to use their part of the village website to publicise future events, report on past ones and even poll readers' views.
Whilst this is happening, new information continues to appear on DOL. More back issues of the Deddington and District History Society's newsletter, 224, are now on line, and the Royal British Legion pages have been updated.
Thanks to Don Anderson, who is a member of both the DOL team and a trustee of the Deddington Charity Estates, we can now read about their work, including the administration of the Almshouses. See charity estates If you think there's something missing.
