Newbottle is a civil parish and largely deserted village in South Northamptonshire, about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of the market town of Brackley. It is close to the Oxfordshire county boundary and about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south-east of the town of Banbury.

A stream that is a tributary of the River Cherwell forms the parish boundary to the north-west. The remainder of the parish boundary mostly follows field boundaries.

The parish includes the larger village of Charlton, about 0.5 miles (800 m) southeast of Newbottle. The 2001 census recorded a parish population of 438, most of whom live in Charlton.[1]

Archaeology

Rainsborough Camp is an early Iron Age hill fort in the southernmost part of the parish. Excavations in 1961-65 found that it had been inhabited and developed in phases between the 4th century BC and about 4 AD.[2]

Manor

Newbottle manor house is 16th century, built probably in the reign of Henry VIII.[2] The west wing was added in the 17th century and the library has panelling dating from about 1730.[2] The house has also an octagonal dovecote.[2]

Parish church

The Church of England parish church of Saint James has a tower built in about 1290-1210[3] and a Norman font. The present chancel is 13th century.[4] Between the nave and north aisle is a four-bay Decorated Gothic arcade.[2] The south aisle is a Perpendicular Gothic arcade addition.[4] The Gothic Revival east window in the chancel was inserted in 1865[4] and its stained glass is by C.E. Kempe.[2]

In the Middle Ages St. James' belonged to the Augustinian Dunstable Priory.[5] The Priory's annals for 1291 record it as receiving tithes from Newbottle.[5] It still possessed St. James' in 1535 when the Crown's bailiff valued the Priory's property and estates in preparation for the Dissolution of the Monasteries.[5]

St. James' now forms a single benefice with SS Peter and Paul, King's Sutton.[6]
