Banburyshire

Banburyshire is an informal, yet well recognised, area of England that is centred on the market town of Banbury. The county of Oxfordshire has two main commercial centres, the city of Oxford itself that serves most of the south of the county, and Banbury that serves the north plus significant parts of the neighbouring counties of Northamptonshire and Warwickshire.

From the former the villages of King's Sutton and Middleton Cheney , and possibly also Aynho, Charlton and Croughton could be considered part of Banburyshire, and from the latter Kineton, Upper and Lower Brailes also fall within Banbury's sphere of influence.
