Milton, Cherwell
Milton is a village and civil parish about 2.5 miles (4 km) south of Banbury in Oxfordshire, on the Milton road between the villages of Adderbury and Bloxham.
- The Church of England parish church of Saint John the Evangelist[2] was built in 1856 by the Gothic Revival architect William Butterfield.[3]
- Milton has one public house, the Black Boy Inn, that was a gastropub,[4] owned by chef Marco Pierre White, who now no longer owns it. The public house has an outdoor garden and children's climbing equipment.
- The former Banbury and Cheltenham Direct Railway, part of the Great Western Railway, was completed in 1881. The GWR opened a small railway station, Milton Halt, in 1908 on the northern edge of the village near Manor Farm. British Railways closed the halt in 1951 and closed the railway to freight traffic in 1964. The track was removed in 1965.
- The village is built near an affluent of the River Cherwell, and has many nature spots and footpaths surrounding it and leading from it.
- The village holds an annual fireworks display, as well as an annual barn dance.
