Located to the north of Banbury, Cropredy Lawn is surrounded by rolling countryside. The nearby village of Cropredy has its roots in Anglo-Saxon times and its name is thought to be derived from the Old English word "croppe" - meaning hill and "ridig" - small stream. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) and before the Reformation, it was part of the estate held by the Bishop of Lincoln. The picturesque Oxford Canal and the River Cherwell run in parallel on the southeast border of the village.
