Appleford-on-Thames is a village and civil parish on the south bank of the River Thames about 2 miles (3 km) north of Didcot, in the Vale of White Horse district, in Oxfordshire.

[3] Evidence of a Romano-British settlement has been found in a field south of the parish church plus ceramics and human burials of the same period at Manor Farm.

[3] The tower has a ring of six bells, and a plaque on the southwest wall in the church commemorates their being rung for the Millennium at noon on 1 January 2000.

John Warner & Sons of Cripplegate, London cast or recast the first, second, third and tenor bells in 1886,[8] in time to be rung for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887.

[9] In 1844 the Great Western Railway opened an extension from Didcot to Oxford, passing through Appleford parish and crossing the River Thames just north of the village.

[10] It was route 46, which ran once in each direction on a Monday morning between Clifton Hampden Post Office and Abingdon War Memorial.

[13] Appleford had a pub, the Carpenters Arms, but in 2012 it ceased trading and its owner applied for planning permission to convert it into a private house.
