Worton is a civil parish in the West Oxfordshire district about 7 miles (11 km) south of Banbury, England. It was formed in 1932 by the merger of the parishes of Nether Worton and Over Worton, each of which is a small village. The main road between Deddington and Swerford is the parish's northern boundary. It was a turnpike road and is now the B4031. From there the parish extends 4 miles (6.4 km) to Worton Wood on its southern boundary. East–west the parish is nowhere more than 1+3⁄4 miles (3 km) wide. The 2011 Census recorded the population of Worton parish as 624.[1]
