Welcome to Holton

Holton is a small village located in the county of Oxfordshire, England. The village is situated approximately 5 miles east of Oxford and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Holton has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was first mentioned in historical records. The village is home to several historic buildings, including the 12th-century St Bartholomew's Church, which is a Grade II listed building.

Holton is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
