LOCATION
Great Coxwell is about a mile south-west of Faringdon, sitting on a mid-vale ridge of limestone, which typifies many of the older properties within the village. Its undoubted character, countryside walks, bridleways and ease of access to both the amenities of Faringdon town and for the A420 (to either Oxford or Swindon) are two reasons why this is such a popular village.

The small 12th century church of St Giles stands on the site of an earlier Saxon church, also located in the village is the Great Coxwell Tithe Barn. This was completed in the middle of the 13th century and is the finest surviving medieval barn in the country and is now owned by the National Trust.
