Banburyshire is an informal (approximately 20 mile) area (52°03′46″N 1°20′17″W / 52.06278°N 1.33816°W) of England that is centred on the market town of Banbury.
Location
The county of Oxfordshire has two main commercial centres, the city of Oxford itself that serves most of the south of the county, and Banbury that serves the north (such as Adderbury, Deddington, Wroxton, Great Bourton and Bloxham) plus parts of the neighbouring counties of Northamptonshire and Warwickshire.[1][2][3][4][5]
From the former, the villages of King's Sutton and Middleton Cheney, and possibly also Aynho, Fenny Compton, Charlton and Croughton could be considered part of Banburyshire, and from the latter Upper and Lower Brailes also fall within Banbury's sphere of influence. Both the settlements of Bicester, Hinton-in-the-Hedges, Chipping Norton and Hook Norton are also on the border of Banburyshire's area.[2]
It is effectively encompassed by the former Banbury Rural District, Woodstock Rural District, Municipal Borough of Banbury, Southam Rural District, Brackley Rural District, Middleton Cheney Rural District and the north west of Ploughley Rural District (the part that was not in either Bicester Rural District or Headington Rural District before 1931) local government areas, which were abolished between 1935 and 1974.
Transport
The Banburyshire Community Transport Association Ltd charity provides special transport services for disabled in and around the town of Banbury.[6]
Origins
A number of books have used the term "Banburyshire" in their titles, dating from the early 1960s.[7][8][9]
