Binsey, a quiet hamlet, rests where the land begins to breathe the wider air of the Oxfordshire countryside. It lies 2.6 km north-west of Oxford (from Oxford: bearing 305°T, OS grid SP 491 076), and is situated south-east of Wytham village. The village's ancient heart beats around St Margaret's Church, a modest stone edifice where the light, filtering through its venerable windows, falls in soft, earthly patterns upon the worn flagstones. Fields, often a rich, dark loam, stretch outwards, their contours hinting at a long history of cultivation, and the nearby River Thames, a silvery vein in the landscape, murmurs its perpetual, unhurried song. A palpable sense of peaceful continuity pervades Binsey, a feeling carried on the breeze that rustles through the ancient trees bordering its fields.
