Crowmarsh is a civil parish in South Oxfordshire, England.

Formation and constituent settlements

The civil parish was formed on 1 April 1932 by the amalgamation of four existing parishes.^[2]

The four parishes retain their individual identities as the villages of Crowmarsh Gifford, North Stoke, Mongewell and Newnham Murren.^[3]

Governance

Crowmarsh has three tiers of local government.

The lowest tier is Crowmarsh Parish Council, which has responsibility for minor matters such as allotments, open spaces and community halls.^[4] The parish council has 12 members, elected for a four-year term.^[5]

The middle level is South Oxfordshire District Council. The district council has responsibility for matters such as housing, planning and waste collection. The district is divided into 19 wards for the elections of councillors. Crowmarsh ward, which comprises the parishes of Crowmarsh, Ipsden and Nuffield, elects one councillor to the forty-eight member authority.^[6]

The upper tier of local government is Oxfordshire County Council, which administers "wide area" strategic services such as education, highways and social services. Crowmarsh forms part of the Benson electoral division, returning one councilor to the 74 member body.^[7]
