Village overviewKingston Bagpuize with Southmoor is situated 10 miles south-west of Oxford at the junction of the A420 and A415. The parish lies on the 'Golden Ridge' of Corallian limestone which runs from Cumnor to Faringdon. Its fertile soils have nurtured farms famous for their fruit and hops. The name comes from de Bachepuise, a Norman family who controlled the estates after the Conquest. The building of a bypass has encouraged recent development and the population is 2269 (source: openlylocal.com, 2001). The village shops and services are used by many neighbouring communities.
