Alvescot is a village and civil parish about 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) south of Carterton, Oxfordshire, England.

Petrological analysis in 1940 identified the stone as epidotised tuff from Stake Pass in the Lake District, 230 miles (370 km) to the north.

Stone axes from the same source have been found at Kencot, Abingdon, Sutton Courtenay[2] and Minster Lovell.

In the 15th century the nave was rebuilt and the present Perpendicular Gothic south transept and west tower were built.

Alvescot has a public house, the Plough Inn,[9] and a Church of England infants' school.
