About Sunningwell Parish

Sunningwell Parish is located just south west of Oxford and north of Abingdon. It comprises four separate communities:

  • Sunningwell village
  • Bayworth
  • Boars Hill (eastern part)
  • Long Furlong (part of White Cross).

The parish is notably smaller than most parishes having a population of just 904 at the last census. For example, the neighbouring parishes of Kennington, Radley and Wootton are each more than three times as large.

Sunningwell PC has just one part time member of staff, who is the parish clerk, contracted to work about one day per week.
