About the town » Standlake, Oxfordshire, England, Great Britain

Standlake is a village and civil parish about 5 miles southeast of Witney and 7 miles west of Oxford. The parish includes the hamlet of Brighthampton. The River Windrush flows past the village and with its tributary Medley Brook it forms much of the eastern boundary of the parish. The western boundary has been subject to changes and disputes in past centuries. It now follows Brighthampton Cut, an artificial land drain dug in the 19th century. The Windrush joins the River Thames at Newbridge just over 1 mile to the south.
