Kidlington
Kidlington is a large village and civil parish in between the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal. It is around 5 miles (8 kilometres) north of Oxford and 7.5 miles (12 km) southwest of Bicester. The settlement noted in the Domesday Book of 1086 evolved from an ancient village adjacent to the church. Before the Enclosure acts of 1818, a sizeable section south of the village was unenclosed common land, and the village was widely known as Kidlington-on-the-Green. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the village has a permanent resident population of 13723. This makes it a serious contender for the largest village in England. Kidlington homeowners have continuously resisted proposals to become a town, although it gets approved for such status against any criteria. Following a peremptory change by the Parish Council to Town status, the adjustment was voted down in a ballot of the regional electorate by 98 per cent, and therefore reversed. There countless opportunities to take part in social, cultural and leisure activities in the village. Kidlington is the home of around 50 shops, both independent and commercial chain stores, banks and building societies, a public library, a large village hall and a weekly market. In addition to this, there are 7 public houses, 2 cafes, and four restaurants. The public houses are concentrated along the dual carriageway that runs through the village, which feature the Highwayman Hotel, the Black Horse, the Black Bull, the Red Lion, along with the King's Arms in the Moors, and the Six Bells in Mill Street. The Squire Bassett was turned into a Nepalese restaurant and relabelled the Gurkha Village in 2012.
