Cropredy, Sibfords and Wroxton

The Cropredy, Sibfords and Wroxton ward encompasses a large, primarily rural area in the northwest of Cherwell district. It is characterised by a collection of villages and hamlets set within rolling countryside, with a significant portion lying within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The ward's settlements, including the larger villages of Cropredy and Wroxton, are connected by narrow lanes and bounded by agricultural land. The area's history is closely tied to the Oxford Canal, which runs through it.

The canal is a defining feature, passing through Cropredy, where a historic battlefield is also located. The local economy has traditional roots in farming, though many residents now commute to nearby Banbury or Oxford. The ward contains the grounds of Wroxton Abbey, a 17th-century country house with formal gardens. Community life often centres on village halls, pubs, and local events, maintaining a distinct, separate identity from the more urban areas to the southeast.
