Middleton Cheney is a sizeable village in West Northamptonshire, England, lying close to the county boundary with Oxfordshire and the market town of Banbury. It has medieval origins, a conservation area and a handsome parish church whose tower is a local landmark, and is surrounded by agricultural land with visible ridge-and-furrow earthworks that hint at its long rural history.
The village retains a busy community life with a primary school, village hall, shops, pubs, sports clubs and regular local events. Historically centred on farming and small-scale trades, its economy today mixes agriculture with many residents commuting to nearby towns and cities, giving Middleton Cheney a blend of traditional rural character and modern commuter living.
