Kidlington
Kidlington is a large village and civil parish between the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal. It is roughly 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 progressed from an ancient village adjacent to the church. Until the Enclosure acts of 1818, a sizeable part south of the village was unenclosed common land, and the village was extensively called 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.
