Welcome to Shutford
Shutford is a village and civil parish about 4.5 miles (7.2km) west of Banbury in Oxfordshire, UK. Within striking distance of Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon and Chipping Norton, it sits on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds. The village is about 475 feet (145 m) above sea level. It has a population of circa 467 (2011 census).
Amenities include The George & Dragon public house (temporarily closed), St Martin's Church and a Village Hall which is the hub of many village activities. Details of more services for the village, including news from our Parish Council, can be found in our Community pages, along with information about our Women's Institute, Book Club and Local Businesses.
More information about Shutford's population can be found in the 2021 Shutford Parish report.
You can read about the village, its fame at the centre of the plush industry, and view photos, old and new, in our History pages.
Most people enter the village from one of the five roads that meet at the Shutford Five Turns (also known as Shutford Five Ways, depending on your perspective and how long you’ve lived in the village). These five roads all lead in different directions, so you really can go anywhere in the world from here. See how to find us, and find walks to explore our surrounding countryside on our Visit pages.
