About

Chesterton ward encompasses a largely rural portion of the Cotswolds, characterised by open farmland and the notable presence of the former RAF Little Rissington airfield. The landscape is defined by gentle limestone hills and scattered farmsteads. The ward includes the small village of Chesterton itself, along with the settlements of Little Rissington and Wyck Rissington.

The area's history is closely linked to its agricultural past and 20th-century military use. A specific feature is the Chesterton Windmill, a 17th-century stone tower mill that stands prominently on a hilltop overlooking the surrounding fields. The local economy remains connected to farming, with a landscape of dry stone walls and sheep pastures typical of the region.
