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 detailed in the Domesday Book of 1086 grew from an ancient village nearby to the church. Until the Enclosure acts of 1818, a sizeable part south of the village was unenclosed common land, and the village was generally referred to as Kidlington-on-the-Green. According to 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 locals have routinely resisted proposals to become a town, even though it qualifies 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 ultimately reversed. There are numerous options to take part in social, cultural and leisure activities in the town. 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 seven pubs, two cafes, and four restaurants. The public houses are concentrated along the dual carriageway that runs through the village, that include the Highwayman Hotel, the Black Horse, the Black Bull, the Red Lion, along with the King's Arms in the Moors, and the 6 Bells in Mill Street. The Squire Bassett was transformed into a Nepalese restaurant and renamed the Gurkha Village in 2012.
