Pyrton is a rare surviving example of an ancient village that has been sensitively conserved and enhanced. The parish has a rich and extensive history, clearly visible in its architecture and landscape, this heritage is greatly valued by both residents and visitors.
In terms of its relationship to other parishes, Pyrton lies to the north of Watlington, east of Cuxham with Easington and Chalgrove, south of Great Haseley and Stoke Talmage and southwest of Shirburn. It is described as a ‘strip parish’ due to its long and narrow form, and extends to approximately 1,327 hectares from the Haseley Brook to Christmas Common. It is made up of the village of Pyrton, hamlets of Clare, Golder and Standhill, and part of the hamlet of Christmas Common.
There is a strong sense of community within Pyrton. The thriving village hall hosts many meetings and a wide variety of events. St.Mary’s Church is also greatly valued as a place for worship and also for bringing the community together for special events such as Daffodil Sunday and the annual Pyrton and Shirburn fete.
