Netherton is a hamlet in Fyfield and Tubney civil parish about 5.5 miles (9 km) west of Abingdon.[1] Formerly in the parish of Fyfield before it merged with Tubney in 1952, it was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire.[2] The toponym is derived from the Old English neotherra meaning "lower, nether" and dun meaning "hill".[citation needed] It was recorded as Netendon in 1193.[citation needed] Netherton is primarily residential. Netherton is linked with Oxford by Pulhams Coaches route 63 bus that runs on Mondays to Fridays.[3][4]
