About Blackthorn

Blackthorn is a small village 3 miles southeast of Bicester on the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire border. The parish is bounded by the River Ray to the south and the village lies between the A41 and B4011 main roads.

Grounded in Celtic history settled by the Romans and overrun by the Saxons, Blackthorn was then lost to history until the late 16th century. A hamlet of neighbouring parish Ambrosden, Blackthorn did not become a village in its own right until Queen Elizabeth I sold it to John Denton of Ambrosden for the princely sum of £612 3s. 9d.

Throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries Blackthorn had prosperous local businesses, a chapel and school and was a thriving farming community. This sense of community spirit is still at the heart of the village today.
