About

Chalgrove ward encompasses the large village of Chalgrove and the smaller settlements of Berrick Salome and Newington, situated on the flat landscape of the Oxfordshire plain. The area is primarily agricultural, with fields and farmland defining the surroundings. The ward's central feature is Chalgrove Airfield, a significant former World War II base whose runways and structures remain a prominent part of the local topography and history.

The linear village of Chalgrove is focused along its historic High Street, with the 14th-century Church of St Mary serving as a focal point. Community life centres on local shops, schools, and the village hall. A notable annual event is the Chalgrove Festival, which includes a well-attended carnival procession. The nearby streams and the River Thame influence the rural character, with public footpaths connecting the settlements through the working farmland.
