Welcome to Townsend

Townsend is a small village located in the county of Oxfordshire, England. It is situated in the Cherwell Valley, surrounded by beautiful countryside and rolling hills. The village is home to a small community of around 200 people, who enjoy a peaceful and tranquil way of life. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age.

One of the most notable features of Townsend is its beautiful church, St. John the Baptist. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II listed building. It is a fine example of Norman architecture, with a beautiful tower and a stunning stained glass window. The church is still in use today and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Despite its small size, Townsend has a strong sense of community. The village has a number of local events throughout the year, including a summer fete and a Christmas market. There is also a village hall, which is used for a variety of activities, including yoga classes, art exhibitions, and community meetings. The village pub, The Red Lion, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, serving up delicious food and drink in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
