Welcome to the Parish of Deddington, Oxfordshire
Three villages in one parish
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.
