Close

Oxton has a church dedicated to St Peter & St Paul;^[3] a post office and two pubs. Oxton also has two fords – a small ford within the village itself, and a much larger ford on Beanford Lane – often as deep as 1-foot (0.30 m) whilst remaining open to all traffic. It is however closed each March, so that the toads found in the swamp-like area, which the ford crosses, can breed.

Oxton is also home to Tithe Green Natural Burial, a natural burial ground located off Old Ruford Road/the A614^[4]
