Welcome!
Piddington is a village about 4.5 miles (7 km) south-east of Bicester, in Oxfordshire, England.
The poet and playwright John Drinkwater, who spent childhood holidays here with his relatives the Browns and is buried in St Nicholas' churchyard, described nineteenth-century Piddington as ‘a plain, grey little village, neutral in design, ambling from cottage to cottage with no apparent sense of direction, its half-dozen larger houses of red brick sitting discreetly here and there at the roadside. … In the winter, when icicles were on the thatch eaves, the village would lie for days as if it were asleep.'
Though still quiet and unassuming, Piddington today is a friendly community with a well-used Village Hall and several clubs and groups.
