Brightwell Baldwin is a village and civil parish in Oxfordshire, about 4+12 miles (7 km) northeast of Wallingford. It was historically in the Hundred of Ewelme[1] and is now in the District of South Oxfordshire. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 208.[2] The parish is roughly rectangular, about 2+12 miles (4 km) long north–south and about 1+14 miles (2 km) wide east–west. In 1848 the parish covered an area of 1,569 acres (635 ha).[1] The B4009 road linking Benson and Watlington forms part of the southern boundary of the parish. The B480 road linking Oxford and Watlington forms a small part of its northern boundary. Rumbolds Lane forms much of its western boundary. For the remainder the parish is bounded largely by field boundaries.
