Kidlington
Kidlington is a sizeable village and civil parish between the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal. It is approximately 5 miles (8 km) north of Oxford and 7.5 miles (12 kilometres) southwest of Bicester. The settlement detailed in the Domesday Book of 1086 developed from an ancient village adjacent to the church. Until 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. According to the 2011 Census, the village has a permanent resident population of 13723. This makes it a serious competitor for the largest village in England. Kidlington locals have actually constantly resisted propositions to become a town, even though it receives such status against any criteria. Following a peremptory change by the Parish Council to Town status, the change was voted down in a ballot of the regional electorate by 98 per cent, and consequently reversed. There many options to take part in social, cultural and leisure activities in the village. Kidlington is home to around 50 shops, both independent and commercial chain stores, banks and building societies, a public library, a sizeable village hall and a weekly market. In addition to this, there are seven pubs, 2 cafes, and four restaurants. The public houses are focused 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 Six Bells in Mill Street. The Squire Bassett was turned into a Nepalese eatery and relabelled the Gurkha Village in 2012.
