About

Sutton Courtenay, Drayton and Steventon form a cluster of villages in the Vale of White Horse set among arable fields, hedgerows and riverside meadows. The area is threaded by public footpaths and lanes that link farms, village greens and small woodlands. Pockets of older building fabric sit beside newer housing, and the landscape still shows field boundaries and drainage that reflect historic land use. River channels and floodplain grassland around Sutton Courtenay influence local wildlife and walking routes along the Thames towpath.

Sutton Courtenay occupies a stretch of the Thames and has evidence of settlement back to Anglo-Saxon and medieval times, with a long-standing parish church and former manor sites. Steventon is known as the village where Jane Austen was born and where the parish church stood while her family lived at the rectory. Drayton retains a village centre with community facilities, sports areas and allotments, and its lanes open out into surrounding farms. Together the three villages present a living rural pattern of housing, agriculture and local institutions.
