Beckley and Stowood is a rural parish situated approximately 3 miles to the northeast of Oxford, spreading from the outskirts of Oxford City at Barton into the countryside.

The whole parish was in the Green Belt, but since the adoption of the SODC Local Plan 2035 in December ‘20 the southernmost part of the parish at Lower and Wick Farms have been removed from the Green Belt to enable the strategic development site in the Local Plan, Land north of Bayswater Brook [LnBB] to go ahead. The very attractive main village is Beckley, the centre of which is a Conservation Area, with more recent surrounding areas of housing. Outside this there are a few farms, some houses and farm land with Wick Farm and Lower Farm nearer Oxford. Wick Farm has a mobile home park and old farm buildings, some housing and used to have small businesses. Approximately 20% of the parishioners live at Wick Farm.
