Wendlebury is a village and civil parish about 2 miles (3 km) southwest of Bicester and about 1⁄2 mile (800 m) from Junction 9 of the M40. Junction 9 is where the A34 and A41 roads meet the M40, and it is also called the Wendlebury Interchange.[1]
A stream flows through the centre of the village, parallel with the main street. The 2011 census recorded the parish's population as 421.[2]
The toponym is derived from Old English, meaning the burh of a Saxon named Wændel.[3]
