Welcome to Drayton

Drayton is a small village located in the county of Oxfordshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles south-west of the town of Abingdon and 8 miles south of the city of Oxford. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks, including the 12th-century St. Peter's Church and the 17th-century Drayton House. The village also has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub.

St. Peter's Church is one of the most notable landmarks in Drayton. The church dates back to the 12th century and is built in the Norman style. It features a number of interesting architectural details, including a Norman doorway and a 14th-century tower. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Drayton House is another historic building in the village. The house was built in the 17th century and is a fine example of Jacobean architecture. It features a number of interesting architectural details, including a grand entrance hall, a drawing room with a plaster ceiling, and a dining room with a carved stone fireplace. The house is now privately owned and is not open to the public, but it can be seen from the road.
