Shenington with Alkerton is a small, largely rural parish in Cherwell, Oxfordshire, in the English midlands a few miles north of Banbury and close to the county boundary with Warwickshire. It comprises the two villages of Shenington and Alkerton set among rolling arable land and hedged lanes, giving a distinctly pastoral character with easy access to walking country and local farming activity.
The area is notable for its proximity to Edge Hill, the scene of the first major battle of the English Civil War, and for the former wartime airfield at RAF Edgehill, now used for light aviation and community events. Local life centres on a village hall, church and pub, and the parish retains a strong community spirit with regular fetes and clubs alongside small-scale rural enterprises and commuters who work in nearby towns.
