Arncott or Arncot is a village and civil parish about 3+1⁄2 miles (5.6 km) southeast of Bicester in Oxfordshire.

Lower Arncott is close to River Ray and includes the Tally Ho hotel[2] and the Plough public house.

[4] The Domesday Book records that in 1086 William son of Mann held Lower Arncott.

In the 12th century Roger of Caux granted Lower Arncott to the Augustinian Missenden Abbey to say Mass for his late parents.

The cartulary of Osney Abbey records that D'Oyly and d'Ivry in turn granted Upper Arncott to Saint George's church in Oxford Castle.

In about 1149 Henry D'Oyly transferred Upper Arncott to Osney Abbey, which remained lord of the manor until the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

[7] It is now closed, and in March 2010 Cherwell District Council granted the local Methodist Circuit planning permission to convert the building from a church into offices.

[4] The mission room has since closed and Arncott is served by the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) away in Ambrosden, which is part of the Ray Valley Benefice.
