Balscote (sometimes spelt Balscott) is situated a mile West of the

A422, some 6 mile to the West of Banbury

 

The village has a population of about 200.  It has an attractive

Church of England Parish Church and  Methodist Chapel.  There

is a proper village Public House.  Behind the pub is the intended site for a village hall for which they are raising funds, a challenging project for such a small village.

In villages, nothing is simple!  The southern end of Shutford Road is known as Balscote England to the older residents.  There are only 2 houses on what the Electoral Roll indicates as Alkerton Road, but older villagers know it as Mill Lane.  Shutford Road is known by Highways Dept. as a continuation of Langway.  The first turn into Balscote has no houses on it, but it is known by villagers as the Slad.
