Chacombe is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set on rolling Northamptonshire countryside close to the Oxfordshire border and the market town of Banbury. The village has a compact historic core with stone and thatch cottages clustered around a green and a parish church, reflecting medieval roots even as it sits within reach of larger towns and transport corridors.
Traditionally agricultural, Chacombe now mixes farming with a number of commuters who work in nearby towns; locally there is a village hall, a pub and an active community life with occasional fêtes and village events. The area retains a strong sense of local history and character, and its setting makes it popular with people seeking quiet rural life within easy reach of amenities in Banbury and elsewhere in Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire.
