💫 About Us

Nestled in rural Warwickshire, Shotteswell is a charming village and civil parish about four miles northwest of Banbury. Its name, of Anglo-Saxon origin, reflects a history stretching back over a thousand years.

At the heart of the village stands St. Laurence’s Church, a Grade II-listed building dating from the 12th century, a testament to Shotteswell’s enduring heritage. Surrounded by scenic countryside, the village offers a peaceful atmosphere and a glimpse into traditional English village life.
