Shenington is a very attractive medium-sized village located around 5 miles north-west of Banbury. As mentioned in the Domesday book of AD 1086, the village remained within Gloucestershire until 1844, when it was transferred to Oxfordshire under the Counties (Detached Parts) Act. The C of E Holy Trinity Church dates from the 12th century with a Norman chancel; this was moved in 1879 when a Gothic Revival arch was introduced. The Bell Inn public house dates from 1700 and is located across from the village green. Many of the Hornton stone houses lost their thatched roofs in 1721 when a great fire swept through most of the village.
