The Village of Overthorpe
Overthorpe is a small parish of around 235 people (including Overthorpe village itself, and Blacklock's Hill) and sits on the edge of the Cherwell Valley overlooking Banbury.
The village consists of around 60 properties and is approached by single track country lanes flanked by tree lined hedgerows.
The beautiful countryside has been designated as the Aynho, Cherwell Valley and Eydon Special Landscape Area and the village was designated a conservation area in 1978. Within the central core of the village almost all of the traditional properties are listed.

New Defibrillator in Overthorpe
We now have a defibrillator in Overthorpe which can be found on Manor House next to the post box and noticeboard in the centre of the village. When you call an ambulance and they decide you need the defibrillator they will tell you the code you need to access the defibrillator. The defibrillator itself will guide you through how to use it but we understand that using it for the first time (and hopefully the only time!) will be stressful for everyone involved so you may find it helpful to watch the following video when you don't need the defibrillator so you are as prepared as possible if you do.
Rural Crime Team
Rural residents and workers are being encouraged to use an online reporting form to alert police to any suspicious or criminal activity in their area.
Northamptonshire Police’s rural crime team, whose remit includes wildlife and heritage crime, wants to hear from people about anything which strikes them as out of the ordinary.
