Piddington, Oxfordshire

Common card · No. 212055

Piddington is a village, about 4.5 miles (7 km) southeast of Bicester in Oxfordshire, England. It lies close to the border with Buckinghamshire. The 2021 census recorded the parish's population as 358. The village name is derived from the Old English meaning "farm/settlement connected with Pyda". The village made national news headlines in September 2026 for a symbolic referendum in which residents voted in favour of leaving the United Kingdom, in response to the government's plans to house 1,250 asylum seekers at nearby MOD Bicester, a former military base.
