Milton is a village and civil parish about 2.5 miles (4 km) south of Banbury in Oxfordshire, on the Milton road between the villages of Adderbury and Bloxham.

The Church of England parish church of Saint John the Evangelist^[2] was built in 1856 by the Gothic Revival architect William Butterfield.^[3]
