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. New residents' Welcome Letter
The Parish Council has produced a Welcome Letter for new residents that gives lots of useful information about the village.

Parish Matters
Download the latest - and last ever - issue.
Piddington will continue to publish a monthly newsletter, following the same format as PM, via the village email (see 'Keeping in touch'). A number of printed copies will hopefully be made available for those households without the internet. In time we plan to liaise with other parishes continuing to publish their own newsletters to put together something more substantial.
