Chipping Warden is a quintessential Northamptonshire village, set six miles northeast of Banbury on the edge of the River Cherwell and close to the Oxfordshire border. With a history stretching from the Iron Age hillfort at Arbury Banks to a Roman villa at Blackgrounds, the village has been a place of settlement for centuries. Its heart is marked by the Grade I listed Church of St Peter and St Paul, showcasing architectural details from Norman to Perpendicular Gothic.

The village offers a friendly, close-knit atmosphere, with amenities including The Griffin Inn, a traditional country pub; a well-equipped village hall hosting events, clubs, and fitness classes; and recreational spaces such as the sports field and children’s play area. Daily essentials are available in nearby Middleton Cheney and Banbury, which also provide supermarkets, health services, and leisure facilities.

Families benefit from Chipping Warden Primary Academy, a well-regarded village school, and a choice of secondary education in nearby towns, including Chenderit School in Middleton Cheney and independent options such as Bloxham School and Tudor Hall in Banbury.

Excellent road links via the A361 and M40, combined with rail services from Banbury to London and Birmingham, make Chipping Warden both tranquil and well-connected—a perfect blend of countryside charm and accessibility.
